Feng Shui Complete Course of the Chinese and Japanese Garden

.

.

 

You are inside the Master Courses and this course is the Chinese and Japanese Garden Course

After years of research into the principles of Feng Shui, we have succeeded, thanks to meetings and workshops with masters of both Chinese and Japanese Gardens, in understanding various “harmonization” techniques that underlie the composition and formation of the Oriental Garden.
This course aims to bring the participant not only to understand the design and compositional methods of the classical Chinese and Japanese garden but also to make known many aspects of the subtle nature of the composition and plant world.
