FENG SHUI and GARDENS

If a house is going to benefit from good Feng Shui, then attention must be paid to the garden, they are co-dependent. As a nation, we have generally taken a deep interest in our gardens, nurturing them with love and attention. It does not matter whatever the size of our garden space, we have loved and tended it.

However, when faced with a regular sized plot, either bare or one that has been ignored for several years, it can be daunting to know where to start. Many times our gardens are left with a square of grass in the middle and unimaginative planting around the periphery.

FENG SHUI HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING
YOUR PLOT TO LIFE!

Using the same Feng Shui principles, any area can be given a new lease of life and an independent energy.

Why use Feng Shui in your Garden?

  • Uninspiring and unloved
  • Boring shape and design
  • Lack of light, overgrown
  • Too much work
  • No individuality

ACTION
If your garden feels like any of the above, now is the time to use Feng Shui principles to transform your garden, bringing in personality, shape and movement - to give you hours of enjoyment and pleasure

There is always a feeling of serenity in a Feng Shui garden, space being as important, if not more important than plants and enhancements


Feng Shui gardens never display bare soil


Always keep the garden clear of clutter e.g. a place for pots, tools, stakes etc.. Old leaves and debris should be cleared for compost or into green bins for collection.


Rocks are a very popular feature in Chinese gardens. They are symbolic of mountains and the Chinese perceive them to be powerful objects for contemplation


Every plant or enhancement should be placed with care and forethought. In China, every feature in a garden is placed to reflect the human quest for longevity, the maintenance of your trees, shrubs and perennials are planted in preference to annuals.
