Feng Shui Garden

Feng Shui can be utilized in places beyond your home. Gardens are perfect for meditation and reflection. As you probably already know, being outdoors can be some of the most harmonious places to be because generally the air is cleaner and the lighting is perfect. Here are some basics when it comes to creating a perfect Feng Shui garden.

• Have a welcoming entrance. Although you don't necessarily want to surround your garden with a fence, you should find a way to make the garden a spot where there is a definite entrance

• Keep it clean. You certainly wouldn't be able to relax in a garden that is not well maintained, let alone use it as a place of reflection.

• Clutter is of concern in the garden too. You don't just have to worry about clutter within the rooms of your home. Gardens can become overrun by too many plants and too many decorations quite easily.

• Add some water to your garden. Gardens are a great place to add something like a beautiful fountain or perhaps a birdbath to your garden.

• Have somewhere to sit. Make sure you consideration the need to have somewhere to sit and reflect while enjoying the beauty of the garden. Plan a space where you can sit
and have a clear visual of the entire garden if possible.

• Light it up. Since you are attempting to incorporate the various Feng Shui elements within your garden you can find many different ways to bring the element of fire into your garden without burning the place down. Most home improvement stores offer gorgeous fire pits and outdoor chimneys for use within a garden, but you need to make sure that these are not the focal point of your garden.

• Don't get direct. If you are able to include a walking path within your garden then your goal should be to make it as winding and twisty as you can.
