Feng Shui Garden
Planting.
Plants of course are at the very heart of every garden, however in a Feng Shui garden the combining of plants with
foliage, and contrasts in color and texture not only looks appealing but will help to balance the yin and yang
energies. Plants can help to create visual and acoustic privacy, softening the effects of negative
chi. Flowering and fruit shrubs attract very beneficial chi and invite living creatures into your
garden. It is a law of nature to blossom into a plentiful tree that shares its
fruit.
Small shrubs are best placed in the Southern area of your Feng Shui garden. Be sure not to block any of your entry ways or windows with
plants.
Planting purple and red bougainvillea attract wealth as these colors represent prosperity and are very important feng shui
colors.
Shrubs which can be useful for their positive influence in the feng shui garden include camellia and
roses, however, there are many others such as forsythia, shrubby clematis and
rhododendron.
In the East of the garden, grow trees such as the Chinese dove tree and silk tree as well as their weeping
forms. For fragrance, lilacs have a lot to offer. In the Western area grow
flowers, especially scented varieties and combine them with low-growing shrubs.
