Garden Decoration in “Feng Shui” Style
Nature is full of beauty and harmony. We feel calm and free in its surroundings. Perhaps therein lies the answer to the question of why people seek to create in their gardens more natural landscape, which reminds a forest glade or a meadow of herbs. Chinese Feng Shui masters have long pondered over this. Moreover, they brought a few rules that are needed to build natural design on the land. Thinkers promise that if you follow all the rules the garden will give you happiness and harmony.
Before drawing a plan for the garden, in accordance with the laws of Feng Shui, you have to take a compass to determine north, south, east and west. On this depends not only the location of plants, trees, but also other media landscape decor including the grill applies for cooking kebabs. Professionals recommend placing it in the southern part of the garden, as this region is responsible for the success and fortune. Its symbol is the fire. In the south you can plant flowers and other plants that have shades of red. It should be said about other parts of the landscape design.
• In the south-west yellow flowers should be placed. Narrow earthen paths will be appropriate here. Together they contribute to the maintenance of family and other relations between people. Feng Shui masters insist on the placement of garden furniture (benches or gazebos) in south-west. The accommodation sculptural groups, which must necessarily be near (lonely sculpture will bring trouble), is also possible.
• Science of Feng Shui is concerned not only about the soul and the business prosperity of people, but also about health, so in the eastern part of the garden it is advised to arrange a small clearing with herbs, which have pleasant aroma. Mint or tarragon will fit fine.
• Don’t forget that the symbol of western part of the garden is the metal, so think about what sports equipment will be located there. It can be horizontal bars, ladders. Moreover, the west is suitable for organizing children’s playground with iron swings.
• Northern part of the garden is responsible for career growth and opportunity for human fulfillment. Its symbol is water element, so here must be a fountain, artificial waterfall, a mountain stream or pond.
