Beautiful Wind Chimes - Tranquil Sounds All Around Your Garden

Like millions of people around the world, wind Chimes have become such an integral part of our lives. They not only bring a sense of peace and tranquility to our gardens and homes, but they also double up as a tool to scare birds and small animals who might want to take a nibble of your prized plums.

Depending on your personal preference, whether it be bold sounds or soft tinkles, you can find sizes, styles and shapes suited for any garden or home.

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.

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.

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.

Another great idea is to create areas where the wind can bounce off objects and tickle your chimes. Scatter some bird houses or dream catchers, and a few large items like stone or wooden sculptures around your garden. This will slow down a strong continuous wind enough for you to have a gentle sound coming from your chimes. By doing this you can create an amazing array of different sounds.

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.
