Gardens are wonderful. They can have herbs for healing, seasoning and magic. They will often have colorful and scented flowers. But they can do much more than simply look or taste good.

You will also learn what colors should be planted on different sides of your garden. You'll discover how you can grow herbs and plant them according to the rules of feng shui, too. You'll even learn where you should place a small pond or fountain.

The book describes the five flowers considered by feng shui experts to be the most important. You'll learn what they are, what they represent, and where they should be planted.

Feng Shui in the Garden also reveals what to do with cuttings and plants that you bring into the house in order to increase the flow of chi. Also, you'll learn the value of having a getaway, a secret garden for tranquility and meditation.

Customer Reviews

Feng Shui In The Garden by richard webster
I found this book to be clear, concise and easy to read. Most of Richard Webster's books are like this. The ideas and suggestions were easy to follow, and didn't go too deeply into the whole history of each "feng shui" rule and principle for each idea, which I like. I am the type of person who likes to read a BIT of the history, and be able to apply it quickly. I do not like a whole lot of "long-figuring" to apply a concept. This book appealed to that characteristic. Simple solutions for simple questions. If you like a deeper "why and wherefor" of feng shui in the garden, you better go to Lillian Woo(?) Webster's book will appeal to people who want a quick overview and want to start using basics of feng shui IMMEDIATELY. One does NOT have to be a feng shui master to ubderstand this book.
