Home Gardening Accesories: Feng Shui Elements

Feng Shui is an ancient eastern art of thousands of years that teaches us how to arrange the elements in our environment to attract good fortune, prosperity and health.

Wind and Water are Feng Shui Chinese characters that mean and represent the close relationship between the teachings of the art and the respect for the forces of nature. The Feng Shui rules are simple: positive energy or Chi is in accordance with nature, should be found all around us. This principle can be successfully applied to a garden.

There is no Feng Shui garden without a lake or a cascade that attracts positive energy and send them to the environment. Water is important for health, success and purity.

Your Garden is a mirror of life
According to Feng Shuin teachings, each gardening site or habitat in which we spent our time, we work or we play has the energy that can affect our life in many ways. The garden is divided into nine Bagua zones. With little organization you can "address" the energy you want to assimilate. A perfect Feng Shui garden includes a section devoted to each Bagua zone in order to keep a balance. But before talking too much about this, I'm going to appeal to your own heart. Even if you don't believe in Feng Shui, I know that you experience every place you walk in differently, and it affects you in many ways. Choose the items that will make your heart feel warm and your soul feel welcomed.

Home Gardening Statuettes


As I said before, home gardening statuettes are the perfect solution for your home garden. Depending on the general theme of your : favorite movie character, animal, etc.. If the budget allows you, you can have a different theme every year.


You can choose from a wide range of materials. The most commonly used are copper, metal and concrete. Copper is suitable due to its endurance and weather resistance. The concrete home gardening statuettes can crack, and those made of metal can rust.

The first step in choosing your home gardening statuettes is setting the general theme of your home garden. It's not a good idea to fill your home gardening space with several different stories. Pick one that you like most and stick to it.

For example, if you choose the birds to be part of your universe, choose green statuettes in the shape of flowers, trees, birds and cages. The overall theme of your home garden needs to correlate with your mood and your character.




Another idea is the theme of angels. You can choose statues of various shapes and sizes, with face of angel child or adult. Don't overlook any religious statues. In this case, sky is the limit.

These objects can be particularly important if you want to have corner of your garden that will stand out. Well, if you managed to make your dream space, full of flowers, but is somewhat secluded, a statue of this kind placed in the middle of that space will certainly attract attention.

Its size is determined by size of surrounding plants. If the plants are tall, you need to choose a high statuette.

In conclusion, the home gardening statuettes are the simplest way to give a touch of live to your home garden.
