I have a confession. I love gardening. Well, I love the idea of gardening. I've gardened in the past, but quickly became overwhelmed with the process. Container gardening is so much more manageable. When I received a copy of How to Window Box I was thrilled. This was my way to garden!
According to the book’s back cover,
How to Window Box tells readers how to “Cultivate
a few square feet of green no matter where you live.” And that’s exactly
what this lovely hardcover book does.
How
to Window Box is compact – just under 6 x 9 – and less than 180 pages, but
it’s packed with a ton of gardening tips, tricks and know-how. After a generous
and informational introduction, the authors address sixteen different types of window
gardens to help readers choose the perfect garden for their individual
gardening lifestyle:
- Sand Box
- Herb Garden
- Tiny Island
- Sunny Succulents
- Ice Box
- Detox Box
- Danglers
- Rain Forest
- Edible Petals
- Jungle Box
- Salad Bar
- Flower Stand
- Woodlands
- Beach Dune
- Southern Belle
- Window Bog
There are many awesome window gardens
to choose from, readers are sure to find the perfect garden inspiration.
Each garden type includes advice on
choosing the appropriate plants, sun requirements, planting and watering and
more. The accompanying photos provide wonderful visual instructions. The photos of finished window boxes are wonderfully motivating. I can’t wait to try my hand
at creating some of these beautiful garden boxes.
I love to garden, but large gardens
intimidate me. Creating a window box with the help of this book is just what I
need to motivate me.
I highly recommend this book for
anyone who might be looking for a unique take on container gardening. Thanks to
the publisher and Blogging for Books for providing a complimentary copy of this
book.
