Window boxes – curb appeal without the curb!

Entry #53, March 28, 2010

Bring color and greenery to the front of your home

Want to increase the curb appeal of your home, but don’t have a curb? Have you considered window baskets or boxes? They are a great way to add color, greenery, and you can view them from the inside of your home as well! Whether you have a driveway/sidewalk that you can plant additional landscaping, or you have an urban apartment – we can help bring some color to your home.

Demesne has a feature on choosing the right containers and how to start planting a window basket/box.

If you do have a porch, consider hanging flowering baskets

Do you have an area to hang flowering baskets? Like window boxes they brighten up your home and add visual interest from the street.

Have a great patio? For the front or the back of your home you can add hanging baskets.

Casa Sugar has easy steps on how to plant a window basket with sheet moss.  For step by step directions, go visit them at Casa Sugar.

If you’re like me, you like to SEE step by step directions. I  found this great YouTube video on 3 easy steps to planting a hanging flower basket! Kings Plant Barn shows how to pick a container, soil and how to plant.  Does it get easier than that?
