There is a magical way to liven up your garden or any area which you feel is dead and can do with sound and ambiance. Wind Chimes are an amazing tool to do just that. They are guaranteed to bring harmony to your life and usher in peace with soothing sounds.

Ever thought of placing a few in strategic places around your garden? They can offer up an array of different sounds depending on their size and shape of the flutes.

This is how you start:

Take down some notes over a period of a week before you start. Look at the direction of the wind and where the strongest and weakest areas are in your garden. You want to place them in spots where there are gentle breezes and not gale force winds. Chimes need to be gently nudged by the wind and not forced, otherwise you will just get a lot of noise. The aim is to create a musical concert with gentle voices calling on the wind

Aluminum, wood and glass chimes are by far the best to use in a garden. Use the wooden ones where the breeze tends to get strong, with the aluminum ones where the wind swirls around corners. Glass chimes can be placed in between flowers and bushes to great a fairy-like sound.

Depending on how big your garden is, place your chimes at various depths and heights. For example set the bigger ones high maybe on a deck and a smaller one in the same line as the bigger one but lower maybe in a tree, and a smaller one yet to hang among the flowers at a much lower height. Here you need to check the direction of your breeze. You want the wind to always blow from one direction to catch your three-tiered (or more), chime orchestra.

If you are tired of a particular sound of a chime, don’t pack it away. Let is sing some more but place something behind it or in front of it. Maybe a dream catcher or a garden sculpture. Let the wind bounce of of these objects to touch your chime maybe in a gentler way or stronger way.

Chimes are a great way to dampen pesky traffic noise. Strategically placed where the noise is concentrated and combing them with a water feature can take away your problem. Tall plants and thick bushes can also help you alleviate noise.

You can really have so much fun with your wind Chimes by taking a bit of time to plan your musical masterpiece resonating from your garden. Remember to also place a small in your doorway as quests arrive and leave, they will be greeted with music.
