Window Box Gardening and Container Gardens

Window box gardening is a form of container gardening that has been widely used for decades. When gardening space was limited for older neighborhoods and urban dwellers, homeowners turned to the unused space right outside their windows and balconies to add color, charm and function to their home.

Here in the U.S., window box gardening has been rediscovered in recent years and is quickly gaining popularity by a new generation. Flower Framers has developed a product that meets all the needs of gardeners who love window box gardening, but without the hassles of traditional wooden boxes such as rotting and improper drainage.

When choosing the correct flower box for your home you should decide where it will be placed, and what size you should use. The "Helpful Tips" and "FAQ" sections on our Web site can help guide you in some of these decisions. We offer standard and custom size flower boxes to meet your every need.
