Increasingly, during the summer season, one can observe windows adorned with flower boxes on their sills. These windows immediately catch one’s eye with their originality and vibrancy. Inspired by this colorful spectacle, particularly during my recent travels across Europe in the summer, I found myself yearning to bring a touch of this beauty into my own home.
I believe this topic will hold a particular fascination for those often referred to as “apartment gardeners,” a category I proudly fall into. Placing a potted plant or decorative box outside your window can infuse your urban apartment with a summery ambiance. To cultivate your own window-side flower garden, it’s essential to select the right plants—ones that are low-maintenance and thrive in container gardening.
When considering a container, it’s crucial to contemplate not only its aesthetics but also its secure attachment. Apart from planting flowers in window boxes, another option is to purchase hanging baskets that can be affixed to hooks.
Regardless of your choice—be it a basket or a container—it’s imperative to position them in such a way that your window can open and close freely.
