Feng Shui In The Garden

A garden can benefit from feng shui and even help

change the energy in your home. A properly arranged

garden can be a place to be uplifted and energized and

also soothed and relaxed.

 

This balance is very necessary but is easy to

accomplish by using various plants, flowers, and

decorations.

 

The best place to have an entrance to your garden is

facing South. The garden will get the maximum amount

of sun exposure. You should also use an arch or open

space instead of a closed gate.

 

There aren't any specific plants you are supposed to

use but you should maintain a good balance between

colors. Since hotter and brighter colors increase your

energy, you should have them separated from your

cooler and mellower colors which will relax you.

 

One of the hardest things to do in a garden is avoid

clutter but this is a must in feng shui. When you

first plant, everything is pretty small and your

garden may look a little barren.

 

This is just fine. You want to make sure that each

plant has its own space so you don't end up with a

cluttered jungle.

 

It's easy and fun to incorporate the five feng shui

elements into your garden. A birdbath can cover water,

some lights or torches are fire, and for earth, clay

pots and small boulders work wonders.

 

As far as paths in your garden go, you should avoid

straight paths and instead opt for curvy, leisurely

paths made from rounded tiles. Avoid edges whenever

possible in your paths.
