Customer Reviews

Gardens need Feng Shui, too.

The Feng Shui Garden (Practical Gardening Handbook) After applying the principles of feng shui to my own home, I decided to work on the garden and bought the Feng Shui Garden by Gill Hale. An introduction discusses the "whole" view as applied through feng shui today. Part one covers feng shui principles for the garden with discussions about the nature of the energies, the five elements and how to use them, the bagua, chi, the plants and feng shui in practice. I particularly found the section on the movement of chi energy to be fascinating (covered are stagnant chi, cutting chi and beneficial chi). In part two creating the feng shui garden is covered with a foreword about first de-cluttering the area and then composting. Using the bagua as a design tool is particularly helpful. Colorful diagrams and photos are interspersed throughout the book to help with visuals. A section on enhancements, water features and statuary will especially appeal to readers. Recommended.

excellence in photography and headings to find info

I really like the color photos. She is very clear and informative as well as encouraging.It made me feel like staying home just to garden!

Tangible philosophy

I have had a necklace for years with the I Ching symbols, but I never knew their meanings. In this 228 page beautiful book, feng shui is explained beautifully and simply. For the first time I understand the elements and their relationship with energy, astrology and healing. Simply the best book I have read for novices like me who have admired the tranquillity and peace of oriental gardens but were unable to capture the techniques required to plan such a simple yet complex space.
