Vaastu for Garden

Landscape garden plays important role in Vaastu Shastra and feng shui. Flower pots should not be kept on the wall of the building in the North, East or North-East as it would result in blockage of light and air from these directions. Water source or tap in the garden should be in the North-East direction. Levels of the South and West portions of the garden should be higher than the other portions. The Center of the garden keep vacant.

1. More open space around the building in the East and the North direction than that in the West and the South directions is very beneficial.
2. In the East or North-East corner, there should be a Tulsi plant.
3. Swimming tank, wells, fountains, underground water storage tanks, bore, etc. should be in the East or the North.
4. Garden, decorative plants, lawns etc. should be in the East or the North. The decorative plants should not be taller than three feet. A small water fall of three to four feet should be constructed in the East or the North leaving the North-East or the North-West corner.
5. Swings should be in the South West of the garden.
6. Pet animals and birds nests should be in the North-West corner.
7. Benches in the open space in the East and the North direction should be in the West or the South direction and person should sit facing towards the East or the North.
8. If there are trees around the building, they should not be tall or thick leaves and not in the East or the North direction. The auspicious sunrays are blocked by them. There is no objection to such trees in the West and the South direction. However, such big trees should not be only in the West or in the South direction but in the both direction. The heavy weight of the trees spoils the balance of the building.
