Feng Shui in the garden: WOOD

The Element of Wood

Good feng shui in your garden allows energy, or Chi, to flow  in a positive way because all five elements are present and in balance.  Wood can be represented either by living woody plants, simple garden furniture or structures, or natural pieces of wood (such as driftwood or redwood burls) which are strategically placed throughout the garden.  However you choose to introduce the element of wood into your outdoor space, take care to place it in restful and serene locations.  Wood not only represents rebirth and rejuvenation, but is also associated with two important areas in our lives that most people find important to their own well-being: family and wealth.
