According to the science of Vastu, all of the five elements
(earth, water, fire, air and space) aspire and need to be in
harmony. This is true to all living things, including plants, we
all requires that all five elements be balanced. The disproportion
of any one element - quality of the earth, quality of water, wind, sun, or the amount of space it
is planted in - will inhibit its growth. In this way a wise
gardener sets up a balanced environment for his plants to grow
free from disease and stress.
You should remember that each area of your garden is associated
with one of the five elements. The southwest area of your garden
is associated with the earth element and creates a sustaining and
grounding force. In the northeast, water element is at home. This
element will allow your plants to flourish. The fire element in
the southeast supports disease-free plants. The northwest is
related to the air element encouraging cross-pollination.
So now that we discussed the theory, here are few great tips you
can use to bring the five elements into better balance with your
garden and make it a sanctuary that is not only beautiful to look
and wonderful to spend time in, but will actually have an
empowering affect on the health and well-being of you and your
family.
1. Invest in the southwest area of your garden. This should be
done in order to stabilize the force of the earth element. You can
do this with a rock garden, tall trees and even a stone statue.
2.
The water element can be used in the garden by using low plantings
in the northeast that will allow the flow of positive solar
energy. Add a fountain or reflection pool or pond in this area to
reflect this beneficial energy throughout the garden.
3. The southeast side of your garden should be devoted to the fire
element, here you can place a fire pit, the fire pit is a great
way to serve the fire element, and it will also be a delight to
look at, once placed in the right location and setup properly, you
and your family will enjoy a fire pit. Red symbolizes this
direction so plant tulips, geraniums and dahlias here.
4. Use wind chimes to balance the air element in the northwest.
Since blue is the color of this area, plant bluebells,
forget-me-nots and iris to enhance the influences coming from this
direction.
A well-designed and tended garden, using the principles discussed
here, consideration to space, earth and fire using a fire pit will
benefit you and all the members of your family for years to come.
