Why read it?

1 author picked Window Boxes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Every spring, I pull this book from my shelf before heading over to the garden center or farmer’s market to pick out plantings for my window boxes.

I use the ideas in this book as a launch pad.

Sometimes I try to replicate exactly what appears in a window box design that catches my eye, but more often I just crib off a color scheme or copy the rhythm of showy flowered varieties paired with pretty leafy trailers.

I especially love that this book provides ideas for all seasons.
