#TuesdayTips Feng Shui Your Backyard

We know you can't see it, and you definitely can't feel it, but spring time is actually creeping closer than you might think!

Get excited with a few fun ways you can add Feng Shui to your backyard. Allow this spring to be a special and peaceful one. 

Protect your backyard from negative environmental impact through either a natural or man-made barrier. While natural barriers can reduce noise and winds (such as large rocks, stone walls or tall bushes) adding in a fence can be a functional piece of security and comfort. 

Create open spaces to promote the flow of energy. This, along with the presence of water, are important aspects of the Feng Shui experience. A small pond or waterfall are simple ways to achieve all three elements of Feng Shui - which are water, rocks and plants. 

A few more things to keep in mind include the following:

• Large trees should not be planted close to the house, as they trap energy.
• Plants should add both color and aroma to the yard. 
• Patio accessories such as wind chimes and murmuring water can create a relaxing and pleasant environment.
