garden

[myfs_119030]

Dear all,

Thank you all to give people the oppotunity to get more information about feng shui.

I, myself am new to this, but believe in the fengh shui way of living.
Therefore I want to design my garden with the feng shui method.
But it seems that I can not find specific gardening ideas to create a garden. I want to make a koi pond in the garden, combined with a Japanese garden bonsai. and a terras.

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.

Kind regards,

Raf

In general, there isn't a guide to such arrangement, simply because it is really up to in the individual to design the landscaping. A garden is a good addition to any home, because the greenery it creates actually can help to act as shield against external threats as well as make it very nice to look at. So there is no real specifics to creating a nice garden.

Probably some things you can do is make use of like tall plants or group of plants to plant at locations where there might be potential sha shi. So this helps to create a shield for such threats.

As for the pond, probably the thing you can check is whether there is an auspicious water star in that direction. If so, that sector would be the best sector for the pond.

Last advise, is avoid anythornytype of plants.

Otherwise, go ahead and create a nice comfortable area that you and your family like.

Hope that helps.

Dear Robert Lee,

Thank you for the reply. I am sure going to look at the mentioned items. However is there also a particular collor I must avoid?

Also I am going to use Metal and Rocks, this would be no problem I think?

Greetings and thank you again.

In general, the colours to consider to have less or avoid would be the colours that are considered unfavourable to your ba zi element.

Alternatively, as long as you keep all five element colours, it won't matter because each element will help to balance the other elements.

Hope that helps.

Dear Robert Lee,

Thank you for the advice. I also have studyed a few books and websites and togheter I came with a basic design.

However there are a few questions I still have and then I think I can start.

1) do i need to use the compas for obtaining the north? some books refer to not use the compas but to look at the entrance of the house from the centre of the garden. The left is always east (dragon) and the right is west (metal). This makes also the back of the garden always north. What is best to be used? compas are face...

2) My terras is in square form, how can i get rid of de bad vibes?

3) water is placed agaist the terras, this is not a problem?

Also i have made a drawing about the garden where i used the face to the door idea.
