Feng Shui Garden Map

In addition to attracting nourishing, high-quality feng shui energy to your home, a good feng shui design in your garden will delight all of your senses.

The size of your garden is not the most critical factor in a successful feng shui garden design. While it is lovely to be surrounded by a large, lush garden, you can still build a good feng shui garden design even if you only have a small area to work with.

Tools

The essential feng shui tools you use to create a good feng shui home design are the same tools you use to make a good feng shui garden design. Since your garden Bagua is an extension of your home Bagua, you’ll need to know the Bagua, or energy map, of your home. You’ll also need to know about Feng Shui’s five elements principle and how to improve each region to attract positive energy.

For example, the energy of personal growth and self-cultivation is associated with the northeast area of your garden, and the feng shui factor required in this area is earth. This would be an ideal location for the earth feng shui aspect for a contemplative Zen garden with beautiful rock formations. If you want to add a water feature to your garden, the southeast (money and abundance), east (health and family), and north are good feng shui areas for water element energy (career and path in life).

Providing space for Chi

Enable gently curving pathways for chi, or energy, to flow freely while planning your feng shui garden. Since straight lines are uncommon in nature, use fluid shapes and pathways in your feng shui garden.

Garden decorations with good feng shui can be used as subtle feng shui remedies. Consider the Bagua energies needed in each area when designing your garden. An outdoor fountain with floating golden bells, for example, is perfect for money and abundance energy (southeast). Simultaneously, a metal sculpture of a turtle is a great security feng shui remedy for your garden’s north. The west feng shui area is recommended for creating a play area for your children in the backyard, as it is associated with children’s energy and creativity.

Wind chimes are an excellent addition to any garden because their gentle tone emits calming feng shui vibrations. Wind chimes come in various materials, from metal to bamboo, and with various symbols, colors, and string counts. Although each component of a wind chime’s design is significant, the chime’s sound is often a deciding factor.

Colors in Feng Shui

Working with feng shui colors in your garden is a perfect way to highlight different feng shui rhythms. Colors that emphasize specific energies, such as fire energy in the south with red or purple flower colors, or earth energy in the southwest with a light yellow hue, are used in feng shui according to the five elements principle, and you may add soothing peace and joy to your garden by selecting colors that emphasize specific energies.

Enjoy putting together your feng shui garden by incorporating objects, colors, and natural elements that you find pleasing to the eye. The more joyful and healing energy you bring into your garden, the more joyful and healing energy it will return to you and your home.
