Sustainable Feng Shui Gardening

There’s Sustainability, Feng Shui and Gardening. Mix them together and we get Sustainable Feng Shui Gardening. Catchy phrase but do they fit together? Ross Lamond believes they do and using his fifty years practical experience working with the land and applying his own interpretation of Feng Shui in the garden, he explored their relationship. He realised beneficial Chi (Qi) energies permeate everything and coupled with a garden's Yin and Yang, a garden could remain sustainable once its Feng Shui became harmonised. Harmony and sustainability fit side by side.
Ross realised natural places practice sustainability but many domestic gardens do not because the gardener isn’t aware of some gardening applications which can benefit the garden’s health, well-being and longevity. Gardeners are missing out, and for some, they are creating places separate to what Nature, a garden’s energy and Feng Shui envisage.
But there’s hope. Ross found by balancing a garden's Yin and Yang, its sustainability was greatly enhanced. It wasn’t all about composting, organic vegetable growing, mulching and the like. It was about the everyday garden along any street becoming sustainable by balancing its Yin and Yang alongside its Chi (Qi), its Five Element Balance and ‘sha and sheng’ energies. These relate to Feng Shui, but Ross realised a garden is also about Nature, it’s a personal place and it’s about the flow of energies we’re aware of. Energies such as time and money spent on labour, machinery and construction. The energy of air and water movement, the energy encapsulated within the soil, a garden’s plants, its insects and birdlife. The garden is a composition of energies mixing it up and each linking to sustain or detract from the garden’s sustainability.
All thought provoking stuff and a realisation a garden’s sustainability is up to the gardener themself. They guide, build or deflate its sustainability, but once they become aware and attune to its benefits (and personal energy) they become uplifted as they connect more deeply with their surroundings.
Ross realised why not put all of these parts together to create a unique vision for the garden. He seems to be making a habit of digging up new ideas for the garden. He would be interested in helping gardeners apply some of the ideas. Especially those interested in creating an Energy Garden built by guiding energy flow or a Feng Shui Garden built on Feng Shui practice and testing the process.
