Walking in Manhattan the other day, I realized, for the first time, how many people have window flower boxes and window plant boxes that they actually use.  When you think about it, it makes sense. Living in high rise buildings in the concrete jungle makes it very difficult for people to enjoy the sights and smells of flowers and plants.  So, window boxes are the perfect solutions.

On some level, I think that having garden window boxes also provides some sort of rest and relaxation much in the same way as having a full traditional garden does.  The same planting and caring methods are used and the results are the same.  I also feel strongly that having window boxes planters on city apartment and condo buildings makes these buildings look much better.

A window box is aesthetic and can be used in any environment and/or setting.  I think they need to be incorporated more in every home regardless of weather or nor the home is in the city or the suburbs.  Adding window boxes is a quick project that would take one weekend to install and in turn would yeild year round planting fun.  More so in the city because you essentially create your own private garden.
