Have you heard while walking past someones garden and enjoyed the sounds of their wind chimes? These beautiful musical instruments are by far the best way to enhance your garden by harvesting the wind or gentle breezes.
There are so many different shapes, styles and sizes to choose from and placed just in the right spot in your garden will enhance your life.
This is how you start:
Before you rush out and buy your chimes, first do a small study of your garden. Take notes on where the wind blows the strongest and where there is a gentle breeze. Look at the direction of the wind. Does it tend to swirl around corners and certain trees and bushes? Which part of your garden has the most one directional wind? Your goal is to have chimes which will be soothing to your ears and not background noise which will irritate you.
Choose different types of chimes that are durable for outdoor weather and are also pleasing to the eye. Try not to overdo it by mixing your materials too much. Wood, glass and aluminum are the best material to give you crystal clear sounds.
What we can suggest to you, is try to experiment with height and size. It's great to place your chimes in line with each other, starting from a deck or gazebo, then taking a smaller chime and placing it lower but in line with the bigger one then taking an even smaller one still in line with the biggest one and place in between some flowers. This way you will create a wind orchestra playing on the same wind but just on different levels.
It is also nice to change your chimes around at various intervals of the year. The seasons of the year offer us different winds at different speeds. Change their heights or even better, place objects in front of them or behind. Let the wind bounce of these objects to create a completely different sound from your chimes.
Should you have traffic noise on your street, place bigger or bolder sounded chimes on the outer border, mixed with lots of tall plants and high grasses. Start where the traffic noise is most concentrated and place smaller daintier chimes nearer the house. This should soften or drain the noise coming from the street both day and night.
The wind has been blowing for eons and will blow for eons more. Why not harvest a little for your own pleasure by creating music with wind chimes. Let your stresses and strains of the day melt away by listening to the wind gently pushing its way through the chimes. Hang a small one in the main entrance of your home so the wind could play your visitors a welcoming song and greet them as the leave.
