I have lots of tips on creating a feng shui garden as well as links to other sites you may be interested in.  I hope this helps and good luck with creating your feng shui garden.

Hello doronron,

Basically you want to use the KISS method. The idea behind Feng Shui is to beautify your environment around your home. The science and art of Feng Shui is very extensive and a properly trained Classical Feng Shui Consultant can give you precise locations and timing of placing water features in your yard that enhance your prosperity.  Improper placement of a water feature although may look beautiful can take away your long term wealth and health.

My suggestion is Contact the American Feng Shui Institute in California to see if they have a Feng Shui Consultant in your area that can assist you. It is way worth the money spent!!.. Love and Light... Gravyee

Hi doronron!

Establishing your Feng shui garden is an excellent way of getting yourself relaxed in your garden while doing your meditation and solitary relaxation.

To give you some simple tips how to establish your feng shui garden follow these:

• 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.

Making your yard is a class idea

i don't know a whole lot about feng shui, but the one thing i do know, is that adding a water feature is often incorporated into feng shui gardens. the sound and movement of water is very soothing and inviting. meandering paths, rather than straight hard lines are also usually incorporated. hope this is helpful.
