Tonight, we’ll read about gardening in window boxes, and also planning the arrangement of outdoor flower gardens, from the 1903 book “The Flower Garden” by Ida D. Bennett.

A window box is usually placed on a window sill, or fixed to the wall immediately below it, so the owner(s) can easily access the plants in it. Window boxes are usually accessed from indoors, and are often used by people who live on upper floors without access to gardens or other plantable areas.
