can be placed on the boundary wall. The houses by the side of big road should be planted
with Neem and Ashok trees. Neem protects from pollution and insects and the Ashok tree
protects from sound pollution. Each home has a boundary wall. Tree will have to be
planted to make the boundary wall strong according to ancient scriptures. Not only that,
big size stones also be placed around the trees, as advised. Not only can your garden be a
place of enjoyment and beauty, but by creating harmony in your garden through the way
of Vaastu, you can bring peace and happiness also into the lives of those you love.
According to the science of Vaastu Shastra, all five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and
space) need to be in harmony. When a seed is planted, it requires that all five elements be
balanced for it to germinate, sprout, and become a strong, healthy plant.
The disproportion of any element-whether it is the quality of the earth (soil ph), the
amount and quality of water, wind (air), sun (fire), or the amount of space in which it is
planted has the power to inhibit its growth. In this way a wise gardener sets up a balanced
environment for his plants to grow free from disease and stress. Briefly, each area of your
garden is associated with one of the five elements. The earth element is associated with
the Southwest area, providing a sustaining and grounding force for the garden. In the
Northeast, the nourishing water element is at home enhancing growth. The fire element in
the Southeast supports healthy disease-free plants. The Northwest is related to the air
element, encouraging cross-pollination for new growth in the garden. The space element
is associated with the Central area of your garden, enhancing the flow of beneficial
influences that nourishes the other elements. Here are five suggestions to bring the five
elements into balance in your garden and make it a heaven that is not only beautiful to
look at and wonderful to spend time in, but will actually have an empowering affect on
the health and well-being of you and your family.
1. Build up the southwest area of your garden to produce the stabilizing force of the
earth element. You can do this with a rock garden, tall trees, and even a stone
statue. This area is extremely helpful in collecting and holding the positive solar
and magnetic energies coming from the east and north. Since yellow is the color
associated with the southwest, choose daffodils, roses, or wisteria as color accents
in this area.. The southwest is also a good place for a storage.
2. Represent the water element in the northeast by adding a fountain, pool, or pond
so this beneficial energy will be reflected throughout your garden. Use low
plantings in the northeast that will not block the life-enhancing ultraviolet light
coming from this direction. Plant herbs, white pansies, or geraniums as color
highlights in this direction.
3. Add a barbeque or a fire place in the southeast area of your garden to enliven the
fire element. The color red is related to this direction so plant tulips, geraniums,
roses, and dahlias in the southeast to enliven this element.
4. Wind chimes, a play area with a swing set, or a compost pile will balance the air
element in the northwest. Blue is the color connected to this area, so plant
bluebells, forget-me-nots, and iris to enhance the influences coming from this
direction.
5. Represent the space element by an open patio area in the center of your garden
where you can sit and commune with nature. Finally, keep your garden neat and
tidy by pulling weeds and removing dead plants. Doing so, you will support the
balance of the five elements and attract the positive influences inherent in each of
the five directions.
Here are a few simple vaastu suggestions for planting of various varieties of foliage for
garden within the house limits:
Big trees should be avoided in the space surrounding the building and inside the
boundary wall. The roots of big trees can damage the base of the wall compound
and the building. The roots of big trees absorb the invisible power of the sunlight
quickly. The good effect of these powerful rays is not obtained by the building.
If there are trees around the building, they should not be tall or have 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 spoil the balance of the
building.
Useful trees of 3 to 5 feet height can be in the east and the north directions. There
should be no tree of any kind, big, small, useful or otherwise in the north-east
corner.
No plant brought from a temple, bank of a river, stolen from any place or given by
a person whom you dislike, should be planted in your plot. Saplings brought from
a nursery should be planted.
No creepers, however beautiful, with flowers should be raised on the compound
wall of the building in the east or the north direction. Creepers can be planted only
in the garden. There is no harm to have a money plant in the house. However, it
should not be planted outside the house with the support of a tree etc.
Only around a temple, Banyan tree in the east, Audumbar (a type of banyan tree)
on the south side and Peepal in the west can be planted, observing all the rules
regarding the planting of these trees. These tree should not be planted around a
residence or the place of business.
Any big or small, proper or improper, tree should not be planted in front of the
main entrance of the building in any direction. Banana, Papaya, Mango,
Pineapple, Lemon Nilgiri, Ashoka or Jamun trees etc. should not be in the east or
the north direction of the building. Paucity of funds and children is experienced.
Only in the south of the west there is no harm in having Ashoka, Almond,
Pineapple, Nilgiri, Coconut, Neem, Lemon trees etc.
