Welcome to a gallery featuring a selection of beautiful and well-maintained window boxes.
Window boxes are a common sight on buildings throughout the world. In larger cities, a window box can help a small apartment feel a little more like home, by providing a small space to garden.
While most window boxes tend to be mounted on the exterior of the building, beneath the window for which they get their name, some people choose to hang their window box indoors–particularly people who like to cook.
An indoor window box can act as a herb garden that eliminates any countertop clutter that other kitchen gardens can create.
When selecting a window box, keep in mind that wooden boxes that aren’t painted or maintained regularly will only last 3-5 years before they begin to rot. With proper care, wooden boxes can last for 10-15 years. If you want something more low maintenance, you can go with vinyl or a wrought iron window box and fill it with terra cotta or plastic pots.
This gallery features outdoor window boxes with beautiful, lush arrangements that add color and appeal to any home’s exterior.
The above image is of an Old World style home with a simple window box with cascading pink and red flowers. The color is stunning against the plaster siding (www.airmaniax.com).
If you decide to include window boxes in or outside of your home, make it easy with the right gardening trowel.
We hope you’ll enjoy this beautiful gallery filled with images of unique window box flower arrangements.
