We balance the five elements and the five senses in a garden with good Feng Shui, as follows:

The Five Elements

The implications of the five elements in garden design are endless. When deciding on the general layout of the garden, selecting plants, when planning the colors and consider the growing and flowering seasons, you should always take into account these elements.

With the bagua map and the five elements, we can design a Feng shui garden which would bring harmony and balance we need in our lives.

The Five Senses

* Smell and fragrance: scented plants include us pleasant. The aromas are the essence of the plant that produces healing energy to restore our balance, we all know the benefits of aromatherapy.

* Like: herbs and vegetables. Add herbs and edible plants in your garden or why not?, Your patio or deck, brings a special dimension.

* Ear: the presence of water and its sound to the front of the house is extremely pleasant, helps promote good relations between the inhabitants of the house.

It also chimes and windmills add the ingredient of sound in our garden.

* Touch. Plants soft and pleasant feel of large, rounded leaves.

* Vista: Large plants and strong texture represent Yang energy while smaller plants represent the Yin and fine. The balance must be the choreography between these two classes.

Here I summarize the five points for having a garden with good Feng Shui.

1 .- The key is to ensure that all look as natural as possible. Or plants which are grown or ornaments that are incorporated have to look forced.

2 .- A key element of balance is the combination of shapes and sizes of plants, that no element or group stand out from others.

3 .- Draw a winding road or trail.

4 .- To introduce a water feature like a fountain or pond, rather at the entrance to the house in the back.

5 .- It is not necessary to be very exotic or rare plants, our species are very valid, rounded leaves find plants, escape from the sharp.

The main thing is the balance and harmony.

“According to Feng Shui, a beautiful garden is like the clothes from the house.”
Wong Sien Hong, an expert in Feng Shui, 1997.

A garden is a microcosm of nature, continually changing as it grows.

When you evolve, your garden will remind their own development and the effort required to achieve and maintain balance and harmony.

The garden helps to restore the link with nature and promotes the health and vitality in people.
