How Does Your Garden Grow?

Feng Shui is best practised outside in the environment where it has more impact than inside the house and where the dynamics are more versatile.

So now spring is here, and summer is on its way, let’s get your garden all Feng Shuied to ensure you gain the best chi.

Enhance your chi

This year, the north 0 degrees of the garden is where your career is, as well as new beginnings. It’s also where the wealth chi resides. To take advantage of this, place a pond or water feature here to activate and enhance the chi. When planting flowers use white and blue, for example, forget me knots or something similar.

Tapping into the masculine energy of your home

330 degrees north west is where you find and can tap into your helpful people and it’s also where the father of the house resides, or in other words, the masculine energy.

To make this area really strong, place metal balls or abstract art here. Flowers should be pinks and yellows such as roses.

Invite good fortune

If possible, place your BBQ either at 180 degrees south or 90 degrees east where the good fortune chi resides. This is also a great place to keep wood stores this year. In the east try placing a water feature to enhance the good fortune chi. And south west is where the female energy resides.

270 degrees west is party time, so turn the music up in this area! And at the other end of the scale, keep the north east and south west quiet this year, so no building if possible.

Finally, a good tip for borders is to make them wavy rather than straight, although this might be hard for the OCD gardener!
