Book Review: How to Window Box

How to Window Box: Small-Space Plants to Grow Indoors or Out by [Gordon, Chantal Aida, Benoit, Ryan]This how-to book is great for those who love window boxes or would like to try one, or more. There are box ideas for both indoors and out along with a variety of plants.

To begin, they discuss what to consider for either the outdoor box or the indoor box. This includes the amount of sun a site received and what constitutes full sun, part sun, part shade, or shade. The tools required, how to buy plants, whether a plant is an annual, perennial or biennial, different planting medium, surface materials, watering and so much more. There are even hint boxes throughout which talk about different things like sun deprivation.

From here they show and talk about different kind of window boxes, such one for sand loving plants, herb gardens, or perhaps a tropical box.

I found the illustrations and directions throughout the book to be helpful. They take the reader through everything needed for a box from location to feeding.

I recommend this book to the do-it-yourself person or anyone that enjoys plants.

I was given this book by Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
