Can Feng Shui be applied in the garden?

Yes. The five elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth are the natural agents of Chi, and they symbolize shapes, color, senses, strengths, or weaknesses. Your garden, whether used as an area to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers or as a spot to relax or entertain guests, should reveal your own style and attitudes. Since your garden is an extension of you, everything there (i.e., the colors of the blooms, the material your garden furniture is made of, the sound of the water trickling in your fountain, etc.) should be well-placed to beautify and enhance your well-being. Other interesting things to note are that over time, plants and trees build active relationships with their environment, and they possess their own Yin and Yang. Keeping all this in mind, you can create a garden that not only enhances your own Chi (energy) but also creates harmony for any guests who share your garden. Assessing a garden requires the same Feng Shui tools that are used for home and office assessments.
