Working with Color in Your Garden: Feng Shui Tips
Monday June 30, 2008
Working with feng shui colors is a great way to emphasize various feng shui rhythms in your garden. In feng shui, color is used according to the five elements theory, and you can bring healing harmony and joy to your garden by choosing colors that emphasize specific energies, such as, for example, the Fire energy in the South with red or purple flower colors, or Earth energy in the Southwest with light yellow color.Enjoy creating your feng shui garden and bring items, colors and nature elements that bring you pleasure to look at. The more joyful energy you put into your garden, the more joyful and healing energy the garden will reflect back to you, as well as to your home.

Hi Rodika, I’m a big fan of your blog. Can you tell me, as I’m in Australia and designing house and garden as we speak, are the bagua colours use suggest the same for northern and south hemispheres? thanks, claudia
Thank you very much for your feedback, Claudia!
This is a very good question, and the truth is, there is quite a bit of a debate on this issue in feng shui circles. Many feng shui consultants agree that the feng shui applications should be the same in both hemispheres. I think the bagua map should be slightly re-adjusted when applied in the Southern hemisphere.
Here is an interesting article by feng shui consultant Roger Green who teaches & practices in Australia: http://www.fengshuiseminars.com/articles/southernhemisphere.html
Best to you, Claudia!
Hi! I’m one of the big fan of your blog. I’m leaving in the tropical country, Phils. and I’m very fond of planting flowering plants like “EUPHORBIA” in front of our house because it blooms a lot of flowers specially during summer. Many say that plants with lots of thorns bring bad luck. How true is it. Does it bring bad Feng Shui? Thank you and GOD BLESS.
