Feng Shui in the Garden : Simple Solutions for Creating a Comforting, Life-Affirming Garden of the Soul

Rating:
Summary: There are better books out there
Review: Fortunately I already knew Feng Shui. This book, I felt was rather thin on the basics of Feng Shui. As I read it I kept waiting for Wydra to touch more upon the Bagua, but it never came.

Summary: You can create your own feng shui garden
Review: I followed the guidelines for plants, color, fragrance, shapes,and meaning, and designed five interlocking Florida feng shui gardens based on Nancilee's book. We used the bagua to locate the right spots (for us) for a Meditation garden, a Healing garden, a Fertility garden, a Child's garden and, in the Power Corner, the Lover's garden.

The result is a tropical paradise which enchants us, our friends, and garden enthusiasts. The book was a great guide to learning by doing.

Summary: Provides a new way to analyze your garden.
Review: I recommend this book if you are looking for a new approach to what might be called the garden metaphor. This book provides wonderful definitions of the garden and the importance of place, but also gives practical ways to analyze faults as well as checklists and questions to help gardeners pinpoint where they might want to go. I found it helped to diagnose my problem areas and also pointed to some not so radical solutions that changed emphasis just enough to give my garden a whole new look. I highly recomment it.
