Wind Chimes Go Great With Gardening

By Lee Dobbins

What could be more relaxing than gardening on a nice summer
morning? Listening to your wind chime while you garden! Wind
chimes are not only fun to look at but they add much more to
your garden then just visual appeal.

Wind chimes have tones and vibrations that soothe and calm the
mind helping to release all your stress. When you dig in the
garden and connect with the earth, listening to your chimes
tinkle in the breeze can help you also connect with your inner
spirit. Chimes have been used for much more than just decoration
for centuries. In fact, wind chimes are used in many Feng Shui
cures. You can hang your chimes inside as well as outside, metal
chimes are best for North, Northwest and West while wood chimes
are best for South, Southeast and East. The number of rods can
be associated with the cure you want. Use 4, 6, 7, 8 or 18 rods
for luck and 5 rods to reject bad energy. Use bamboo for
outside.

Of course, you should pick chimes that decorate your porch or
garden area to your liking. There’s plenty of styles and
materials to choose from. I favor the chimes with a stained
glass decoration on top that comes in all kinds of whimsical
styles. If you are more traditional, you might go for a simple
bamboo chime with an Asian flair. You can even get chimes that
are hand tuned if you are really into the sound quality of your
wind chime.

Hanging your wind chimes is easy. To hang from the top of your
porch, you can use a simple C shaped hook that screws into the
ceiling. Any type hook can be used as long as it is strong
enough to support your wind chime. Be sure you hang it in an
area where it’s freedom of movement is not obstructed by
anything. You can also buy fancy hangers that screw in or that
stick up from the ground. When hanging your chime, try to pick a
place that will not get a strong wind – this way you can be sure
your chime does not blow off and break.

So, the next time that you get out into the garden, make sure
that you hang out some wind chimes so that you can add a new
level to your gardening experience!
