Container Gardens
If you have been thinking about getting into Feng Shui
gardening but are thinking that you need a large open area to
create your garden, and then think again. You can create a
Feng Shui container garden that still posses all the
principles of the Feng Shui form. Since, most of us do not
possess a large open area, with rocks we can stack and large
field to work with, a Feng Shui container garden can work as
well and still bring about the calmness and serenity that
large Feng Shui gardens have.
Regardless of the amount of space you have, you can create a
beautiful and interesting Feng Shui container garden. You will
be able to incorporate all the Feng Shui ideas even though you
are using a much smaller space. What is always important when
creating a Feng Shui space is the energy that the space
possess. So transforming your patio from an area you prefer to
spend no time in, to an area of relaxation and even meditation
is not as hard as it seems. Using many different plants,
vegetables, flowers, fruits, and herbs to create the space
that you want while still incorporating the Feng Shui energy
can be done.
Once you have read up enough on Feng Shui ideals and beliefs
you will be ready to begin picking which plants and vegetation
you want to use. Starting with the plants you want in your
area is best. Any plant nursery will have many varieties to
choose from and all plants will have growing instructions and
where they will thrive best. Along with all the necessary
instructions on how to take care of them, from the amount of
water they need to how much sunlight and shade they should
get. Picking plants to create balance and harmony in your
environment will be an important concern, however always
looking for color and diversity is important too.
Choosing containers that are easily moved and adjusted will
make creating and changing your Feng Shui garden much easier.
Especially when there is a shift in energy in or around your
home or business and you need to make a change quickly.
Allowing for creativity in your containers is still important
too and just about anything can e used that goes along with
your Feng Shui theme. Pots, buckets, terracotta, ceramic,
wood, tile, or even plastic. Anything that can hold items can
be turned into a container for your garden, always just make
sure to have holes in the bottom for water drainage and a
saucer underneath to catch the water drainage.
Also, unlike other types of gardening, Feng Shui gardening
allows for attachment to your plants and a connection with
them that many other types of gardening does not look for.
Whether you move or the weather changes, keeping the plants
with you and creating your garden any where you are at will
create additional harmony and strength with your Feng Shui
garden.
Creating your Feng Shui garden will give you a sense of peace
and serenity when there is so much going on around you. This
will be your place for relaxation and even meditation with all
the Feng Shui characteristics and ideals. |
