There comes a time when every gardener sees "that yard." Maybe its on a walk or in a car and your eyes light on a home with an antique bicycle, statuary, stained glass humming bird feeders, chimes and wicker furniture in the gardens. {And it hits you!} " Oh my God! Could that cluttered yard look be what I have?" And this is when Feng Shui gardening comes to the rescue.
SO WHAT'S A FENG SHUI GARDEN?
Feng Shui is about "less is more", simple, clear pathways and lines to the perfect restful martini or coffee corner. Its about sitting in your nook on a Sunday morning and feeling one with life. It makes your fabulous gardens shimmer and stand out. But here's the thing. Pick through all your "stuff" and find 4 major items to enhance your gardens instead of 20. This opens pathways for "Good Chi" {positive life force energy} to travel, linger, and bless your dwelling with tranquility, money, less fights and order. Because all that glorious yard and garden "stuff" is sending a Morris Code: "Somebody help me. My Life is a Mess!" Big or small, your garden space can shimmer with order and each garden can be a focal point for your prize yard ornament, flower or furniture to stand out.
