Most Helpful Customer Reviews   5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Great for creating your peace garden, February 14, 2003 By  Harold McFarland (Florida) - See all my reviews          "Gardening With Soul" in its most basic form is a book about establishing a garden using Feng Shui techniques. Gardens have traditionally been a place of solace and recharging our energy levels. In this book Gaylah Balter takes us through the steps of planning that place of sanctuary and then creating it. From discussing the qualities of trees, plants, water and soil to a discussion of color coordination, use of rocks, insects, butterflies and wildlife it covers all you need to know to create a garden that is in harmony. I particularly liked the chart that provided a list of plants to be protected, the insects that attack them and the guard plant that will repel that insect. While useful for those who are not of the New Age mindset, the last half of the book includes a chapter on communicating with angels and fairies to help with your garden and an extensive section on Feng Shui. The Feng Shui section details various ways to lay out your garden that promote centering and harmony and is very good. For those who want to create a garden sanctuary this is an informative and recommended book.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
