Decorative window boxes are a fantastic way to keep seasonal color close at hand, especially when going outside isn’t practical.
My aunt is home bound, and for many years, I have attended to her window boxes, planting geraniums in the spring, maybe mums in the fall, but always a splash of bold colors to keep her spirits high and her outlook, well, looking outdoors. From her comfortable chair, she can see the birds, butterflies and bees making their rounds, and the colorful flowers tucked into the wood window boxes bring an air of festivity and gaiety inside.
I always thought of planter boxes being more about curb appeal, but the truth is, there is even more to discover about them than I realized.
