Plan of construction of the garden:

In ancient China it was believed that each house is guarded by mythical creatures and the task of the inhabitants of the house was to strengthen their benevolence. The turtle, phoenix, tiger, dragon and snake are according to the Chinese mythology of “feng shui” animals. Each animal represents an element, a color, a direction and has a particular symbolism.

The turtle embodies longevity and support, the phoenix – positive changes, happiness and hope, the tiger embodies defense, the dragon brings success and the serpent is the symbol of wisdom and patience.

The phoenix must be in front of the entrance of the house and the turtle is placed at the back of the house. Hierarchy is very important in the relationship between the dragon and the tiger. The dragon must overhang the tiger. In the garden taller trees and higher shrubs should be planted in the eastern part of the garden. The western part is reserved for hedge and smaller shrubs. If you want to strengthen the symbolism, you can place a statue of these animals in the corresponding corners of your garden.

For the development of the functional areas of the feng shui garden, you must follow the Chinese Ring which is composed of 9 sectors of which 8 with a triangular shape. Each sector corresponds to an aspect of human life and has an element, a color and a direction. It is from this that we build the plan of the garden which will be separated into 9 functional zones.
