Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Garden area
  1. Step 1
     

    Make a feng shui garden by building a pathway with curves. Straight paths have sharp angles and edges that can cause people to feel tense. Curved pathways allow positive energy, chi, to flow and create a sense of balance. Use stones or create an instant pathway with wood chips.

  2. Step 2
     

    To add to your garden put a birdbath or a fountain. In a Feng Shui garden water symbolizes life and abundance. When people are close to water, they feel calm. Make sure to keep water clean and clear.

  3. Step 3
     

    To make a feng shui garden plant different colored flowers. Bright colors like red, blue, and purple will lift your mood and your energy level. It's okay to add some white flowers to contrast the bright ones.

  4. Step 4
     

    Make sure there is plenty of sunlight in your garden. Too many dark areas will disrupt the harmony of your feng shui garden. Keep trees pruned. Add some twinkling lights to trees or planters for a night of feng shui in your garden.
