MUSIC FOR YOUR SUMMER GARDEN

LET YOUR GARDEN SING

Imagine you’re sitting outside in your favourite chair or hammock, enjoying the bright summer sun and the soft ambient sounds of the surrounding neighbourhood. A gentle breeze sweeps over you, rustling your hair, accompanied by the soft tinkle of a chime.

Add some wind chimes to your backyard or garden and bring some soothing sounds into your natural environment. Here are some tips on how to make your own.

• Take some old pieces of cutlery and hang them on a stick. This will give you a crystal sound.
• For a more earthy sound string up some pieces of bamboo of different lengths and hang them on a branch where they can clatter and clang against each other.
• Make a song tree by hanging bottles of different sizes on a tree. When the wind blows you will get a flute-like sound as the breeze blows over the tops of the bottles.
• Hit a key note by hanging old keys on string or gut.
• Bring some light into your wind chimes by finishing them of with crystal beads.
• You can also use some old tins, shells, bottle tops and pieces of glass to make interesting wind chimes.

Let the music play in your garden.
