Dear Cecil,
There is a big open plot behind my building which I am trying to convert into a garden by planting trees et al.
But how does one go about resolving the correct directions? When I look out at the plot from my house, it is in the NE-E-SE-S direction. But if I stand in the middle of the plot facing my house, then in relation to the plot, S becomes W, SE is NW and NE is more N.
From point of view from the house, it is good to have trees in the SE and S. But from the garden point of view, the whole thing changes, doesn't it?
How does one resolve the feng shui here?
Or am I being too rigid about the directions?

Thanks and regards.
