Feng Shui Garden
When it comes to backyard, the garden has the most prominent importance in Feng Shui. To harness and properly use the chi, the life force Feng Shui mainly focuses on three elements of the garden mountains, water and greenery. Raised planting beds, tall trees and shrubbery often represent the mountain. Water, which represents wealth, is represented by streams, ponds and fountains. Feng Shui uses these elements to bring out a positive balance. According to this it is beneficial to place water, mountains and plants fairly close to each other. Similarly it is good to have circular pathways for better and easy movement of the chi. Feng Shui suggests having different layers in the garden rather than flat for better chi movement. Similarly curves in the garden enhance the chi flow.
