Feature Article: Garden Spaces that Flow

A positive flow of energy in the landscape surrounding a home is essential for good Feng Shui. Without it, a home lacks vitality that can negatively impact its occupants since the land, home and humans are all inter-connected. With it, there's a magnetism that nurtures and enhances life.

Flow within a garden is an organic movement that invites exploration and uplifts energy. Flow can be created using gently curved paths, undulating garden beds, varying plant heights, angled or circular furniture, and a bubbling water feature. The use of colorful plants, both bright and subdued, can also help guide the chi to flow from one area of the garden to the next.

Every aspect of a garden either enhances, harmonizes, or detracts from chi flow. Here are a few questions you might ask yourself:

Is the house blocked by trees constricting the flow of energy? Are plants overtaking the walkways? Are your garden beds linear or curved? Have the garbage and recycling cans been hidden from view? Does the placement of outdoor furniture invite the flow of conversation?

While many of my clients focus on the interior spaces of their homes it is essential for the exterior landscape to be harmonious for good Feng Shui. Spatial design -- creating the right size and scale for the various functions of a garden -- is another important consideration for creating positive energy flow.

A garden that flows isn't created overnight. It's an organic process that brings the touch of humans and the benevolence of nature into harmonious expression. Enjoy enhancing your outdoor living spaces and may nature's nurturing energy flow into your life.
