Cedar Window Boxes for Gardening Without the Wide Lawn

You have moved to the city because of your work and you live in an apartment three floors above the ground which means you don’t have a wide lawn to make a garden. And you really love gardening way back when you were living on the farm or your hometown where you spend your first hour in the morning picking those beautiful flowers in the garden and placing them in the vase. I’m sure you will miss that thing in your new place and you can only do it again when you get home in for a visit. 

Though you can do new hobbies in the city such as shopping in the big malls, and keep yourself busy in the office where you work, it would still be nice to at least once again engage yourself in gardening even just a simple way. If you do not have the wide lawn to dig and plant flowers, the best solution would be to use cedar window boxes. These are rectangular or square in shape boxes that are mounted on the side of the house underneath the window. The boxes are made with closed bottom to hold the soil. The box also has holes for water drainage so the water won’t stay on the box.

Cedar window boxes are made from cedar wood which has the characteristic to withstand weather and elements making it durable and lasts longer. It comes with different designs and styles that can add character to your exterior design. Mostly, window boxes made from cedar wood are left naturally unstained but still looks good with its natural wood color. It is also available in different sizes to fit the size of the window. Window boxes can also be used as the patio wooden planter where you can still plant the flowers directly or place the pot inside it. 

If you use window boxes, you can still work with your favorite hobby though you don’t have the wide lawn outside. It will also be easy for you to take good care of the flowers as you can cultivate the soil, water the flowers and dig out the weeds easily right outside the window. The fresh scent of the colorful flower will greet you in the morning the moment you open the window. And it will make the people passing by to stare at the window and be impressed with colorful and attractive window decoration you have.
