Summary

Regardless of the amount of space you have in which to plant, window boxes are the ideal way to garden. They are easy to install, simple to plant, and fun to nurture. Unlike "normal" gardens, window boxes do not require endless hours of maintenance. And, best of all, they make flowers and greenery an integral part of the home, displayed in a place where gardeners can easily see them and derive maximum pleasure for their gardening efforts. For both city and country dwellers, window boxes offer a feast for the eyes and decoration for the home on a very manageable scale. Book jacket.
