ABOUT WINDOW BOXES

Window boxes enable flowers to be grown outside windows. They enhance the appearance of the house from outside, and provide an attractive view of flowers from within. They may be fixed directly to the wall, or supported on brackets.

A wide variety of designs are available, mostly traditional European designs. An equally wide variety of materials may be used for window boxes. These include resin, copper, terracotta, and wood. Window boxes may also be made of decorative wrought iron, to hold terracotta pots.
