Herb, Flower and Veggie Window Box

I like gardening projects that are fun, easy and successful.  This window box this is filled with a mix of herbs and flowers has all of those qualities.  Plus it is one of those double duty kind of ideas, meaning it serves as both a decorative addition to your home and a useful way to grow herbs at the same time.  This project was in my Living in the Garden Home book and received so many positive comments I thought it was time to feature it again.

There is nothing I like better than curl up on a comfy chair with one of your gardening books. I find them easy to read and just love the photos. I have tried to take your examples of garden beds and enhance my homes exterior environment. I think I did a pretty good job. My last seasons work is currently budding out and I am so pleased with my efforts. Thank you for helping me to understand the depths of design in a most simple language. Happy Gardening to you! Ory

planting help

by geraldine blakey on April 26, 2009 03:39
You were showing something at the top of your screen and I lost it. Can't remember if it was Dolemite or what. I plan to order Earthboxes for the apartment and it will probably be organic although I have ordered heirloom seeds. Want things to be as sterile as possible because of my health, but I don't know what I'm doing. Y our comments are welcome. Thanks for all you do.

This looks like a lot of fun. It would be a good project for a garden club program.

this is great and doable only I am not sure if I can get artemisia, but i think I can use allium instead.

Great ideas, I have two at my front windows. They have such a cheery welcome and the herbs and strawberries grow in any easy to get to place to harvest.

I recently picked up an old wooden filing cabinet drawer at a yard sale for a dollar. This would be the perfect thing to use it for to sit on my side porch. Thank you for the ideas!
