Window boxes bursting with bright blooms or impressive foliage add romance to any cottage, while a selection of herbs just outside a kitchen window is a convenient and delicious option.
The key to the perfect window box is to choose one the same width of the window and to hang it so the top of the box just meets the sill. Then, plant what you love and watch it grow.
These classic containers come in a huge variety of styles and materials. Choose a window box based on how you want it to look, how much you want to pay, and how much maintenance you want to put into it. From copper window boxes that patina over time to the no-rot, self-watering plastic variety, you’re sure to find something you love.
