Feng Shui garden design and principlesFeng Shui garden design offers us the opportunity to connect with the natural world and the Universe around us. Come into a partnership with all living things, live and work with them and among, so Balance and harmony will follow.
When we first buy or move into our new apartment, house, villa, unit or townhouse the principles are the same. We check for all our basic needs, how many bedrooms, kitchen size etc, but do we check out if it has a nice garden, or the design? Rarely. The world these days is full of so much Yang activity that we forget about our recreational times until our holidays arrive and try to unwind in a 1 week or two week holiday. These Yang activities take toll our physical and mental health. A fantastic way to unwind is to address the situation with a Yin activity and rebalance ourselves in our own Feng Shui design garden, a safe quite haven. There has been a spiritual connection with nature among the indigenous for centuries and many still hold onto its truths; unfortunately it isn’t passed down as much now, from generation to generation the teaching are getting lost. So many of us seek ideas and teaching from afar, in books, yes the internet and where ever else we can find them. Feng Shui garden design of the ancient Chinese helps us relate to our own psyche and tap into the spirit of the place we live and our environment around us. By using local native plants and natural methods to grow we distance ourselves from the hustle and bustle of modern living and gain repose.
Living in an apartment or a small flat we can still gain the benefits of our window gardens and garden courtyards, as it is the feeling that is created that brings us into balance with nature and life energy.
The following pages on this website will guide us through and reveal the ancient principles of Feng Shui garden design, creating supportive and nurturing environments. We will walk through centuries old applied techniques and translate them into modern day formulas. We will discover how Yin , Yang and the 5 elements can be interpreted outside. Feng Shui is the art of directing the energy of an environment to move in ways with which we feel comfortable. The plants furnishing and objects we surround ourselves have an impact about how we feel about the garden and how we use it. The everlasting unseen energies of the Earth and Universe can be tapped into by us and used for our own advantages to propel a happy relaxed lifestyle of abundance and happiness. One way we can start today is by planning and creating our Feng Shui garden design and really start living to the fullest.

Garden Statue Placement And Design Your garden theme can focus on anything you desire: a fantasy garden, filled with fairies, pixies, goblins; a religious-theme garden, complete with cherubs and harp-playing seraphims and religious figures; or perhaps a nature-theme garden full of replicas of frogs, lizards and giant snails.
