Garden Feng Shui

    When most people think of Feng Shui, they think of the inside of a building, but the truth is, Feng Shui is everywhere, all the time.  Feng Shui is a system by which we can analyze the features in any environment and determine whether or not that space is going to feel right.  When we apply Feng Shui principles to our exterior surroundings as well as our interiors, we are creating a natural environment that is inspiring and supportive to our goals and desires.     Whether you are a gardener or not, here are ten quick tips you can use to make the most of your outdoor areas.

The rose quartz hearts are available for sale HERE. You can also use regular stones, items made from earth like ceramic, pottery, cement, quartz, granite, etc. Statuary and figurines made of earth are nice too. Remember that in feng shui, and especially in the romance section, we like to have things grouped in “pairs” so be sure to have two items made of earth in this area instead of one.

2. Choose artwork carefully. In order to enhance romance, choose artwork that
