HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
Feng shui is about your environment; that includes not only your home and workplace, but gardens too. Which means that with the insightful use of metaphor and Feng Shui, you can unearth growth in your life or, alternatively, a mass of jumbled weeds. Most of us would prefer the former. How to get there involves the same principles as for your home or your clothing:
- Clear the clutter
- Live with what you love
- Ensure an optimal flow of ch'i
- Balance your yin and your yang
- Harmonize your elements
- Clarify your intention

GARDEN TIPS
1. Views of your garden areas from each window and door in your home should be beautiful and tantalizing - they will boost your energy each time you look out. 
2. Clutter needs to be cleared: dead-head dying flowers, discard old leaves and broken branches, clean up the debris.
3. Build a protective 'frame' around the sides and back of your house with trees, shrubs, flower beds, rocks, or fences.
4. Diminish the yang energy of corners and straight fences or concrete patios with shrubs or overflowing flowers.
5. Meandering, curved paths and walls are best for optimum energy flow. If they are straight or severe, soften the effect with shrubs and or flowers tumbling over edges
6. A water feature: a birdbath, fountain or pool brings in the possibility of enhanced prosperity and abundance.
7. Use the bagua to enhance your garden's relationship corner with seating that encourages sharing.
8. Include all five elements in your landscape planning with diverse colours, flowers,statuary, garden furniture and lighting.
9. Stop the flow of energy away from your house, especially if on a slope, with terracing, trees or hedges and horizontal lines behind the house.
10. Build attractive storage for trash, tools, garden supplies.
11 .Create smooth energy flow all around your house.
12. Enrol in the Feng Shui Gardens workshop: April 19.
