Looking for a high-impact gardening project that requires minimum budget and effort? Try updating your window boxes or installing one. Be amazed by the transformation a fresh window box can make!

 

The main appeal of window boxes is simply that they are beautiful gardens in miniature forms. Window boxes offer a contained space to arrange flowers and plants, much like container gardens. If the task of totally re-landscaping your lawn seems daunting, these smaller projects are a fantastic way to start.

Another advantage? These garden projects are so small-scale that changing your blooms to fit the seasons is incredibly easy.

Regardless of whether you lack the energy, time, or money to maintain vast, lush borders, you may still enjoy vibrant flowers and greenery in planters that are small enough to change in five minutes ––yet appealing enough to give your house a fresh look.
