Window Boxes - Hudson Valley Take on Charleston Inspiration

This spring on a garden tour in Charleston, SC with local expert and author, Louisa Pringle Cameron (The Secret Gardens of Charleston), I was taken with the beautiful window boxes splashed with color adorning many of the homes.  In the photo above, window boxes facing the street dress up an otherwise simple house facade.  In our area, summer provides the perfect climate to use window boxes to add color, texture and interest to your home.

Ivy provides constant greenery as blooms come in and out throughout the summer months and into fall.

 

Window boxes not only enhance the look of your home from the outside, but add to the view from within.
