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.

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:

There are some techniques that will help get the optimum sounds from your chimes. Walk around your garden each day for a period of time. Early morning, midday and early evening. Let the wind touch your face and body so you can observe the directions and speed of the wind. Does your garden have gentle breezes in some areas? And where is the strongest wind? You need this information so that you could place your chimes to harvest different types of wind. Your main aim for your garden is to use the direction and speed to create a cacophony of sounds which are pleasing and not aggravating.

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.

Try and play with height and depth. Place your chimes in a line, starting from the highest place in your garden (maybe a deck) and then place another chime lower (maybe on a tree) and then place a smaller one much lower (maybe in a flower bed) to create many different sounds at once. This will create a wind orchestra for you to sit back and enjoy.

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.

Traffic can also be lessened with chimes if they are placed around the area where the noise is most concentrated. Place strong fluted chimes amongst bushes and tall plants on the perimeter and see how muffled the traffic noise becomes. You can also place a water feature with chimes in the area of your garden where noise from cars or people are the most heard.

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.
