How to Build a Window Flower Box | Spring Garden Tutorials

In Paid Partnership with HART Tools USA The large window we added on the north side of our Victorian farmhouse was looking a little bland. Luke and I changed that with this quick weekend project, a DIY window box planter. Now I get pick hers right from my kitchen window.

It looks really beautiful. For anyone who wants to do this, I would recommend finishing the inside of the wooden box with something to protect it from rotting from the moisture of the soil.

😱I LOVE YOU😱 🐞"CLUTTER BUG" SENT ME OVER🐞

[@camilledammasch3648]

You and pine and prospect have window box videos right after another in my feed 😁

[@sherriecanning9007]

I love your window box ! It looks Beautiful.

[@Cherylsgirls]

I love this! It looks so good there too. And what a bonus that you can just pop the window open and snip off some herbs! 😃

[@Regirl75]

Game changer!

[@hitfoods1726]

Looks amazing! Only thing I would’ve added was black landscape liner on the inside to protect the wood more.

[@donnaketz6542]

Your window box turned out beautifully!💐

[@johnsonfamilynaturals]

I love window flower boxes!! Beautiful job!

[@tinycookingwithkimwestmore4796]

Now I want window boxes!

[@anitatucker8812]

The window box looks so cute.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

thanks!

[@MakeItSo_ST]

Beautiful! One tip: mint is well known for being incredibly invasive. It loves to completely take over beds and containers and choke out other plants and, depending on the variety, it can be quite difficult to kill. It should be planted alone in a container.

[@camilledammasch3648]

Yes I thought that too

[@adrianecolpitts6236]

"one line less than 6 and a half" I love it! My husband and I were installing trim last week and I said the same thing! The window box is beautiful 👌

[@rachelsearls6452]

Beautiful Lisa! Y’all did great!! And y’all’s place looks great!!

[@sarahannrolston]

[@MakeItSo_ST]

We’re total strangers, but I'm just so happy for you for all that you have been able to create and accomplish. I love that you and your husband are debt-free with such a young and growing family. So wonderful and inspirational.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

[@sandylunden5782]

Yes! I say keep going with those gorgeous flower boxes, That would be so awesome to open your kitchen window and grab some fresh herbs 👍

[@RebeccaRohrHome]

That is just adorable! Good job!

[@pennysantana7809]

They look awsome and you made them look very simple to do. Thank you for inspiration.. Stay safe 🙏💖

[@peacepocketmama4276]

“Six and one line less than one half”😂. So funny Lisa! That is how I measure too and it drives my finish-carpenter husband nuts!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

haha yeah! Why do I have to know what it actually is. 😜

[@rkatika9]

Haha, I'm sure he is like "oh crap with this imperial system" LOL! I can totally relate as I grew up with metric and can attest that it makes a lot more sense.

[@camilledammasch3648]

Hahaha we work in millimetres in Australia and good to know this is not just a problem here Hahahaha. I prefer to hold the “dumb” end and make hubby work out the measurement

[@1fabricmom]

So pretty!

[@nancyloshe9027]

Adorable!

[@lisapieper3598]

This is so pretty! Adds a ton of character to the house! You guys did a great job with the design! Lisa you never cease to amaze🙂

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

awe thank you so much!

[@lindas8350]

Love your flower box, Lisa. Luke did a great job and how convenient to open your window for herbs. Enjoy!

[@blancabenavides6496]

I want one now! I've always wanted one for my dining room windows and kitchen. I love opening my windows to bring in light and flowers herbs birds etc. Great idea and great job!!!😉💕

[@yarlettegebarowski5995]

Your window box looks beautiful. You will enjoy this in every season. Great job. Love it.

[@murphy1384]

I bet Luke really appreciated all those new tools. I know I would. Your window box looks really pretty on your house.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

yes he's excited!

[@kimberleyrose3665]

Looks so beautiful! But I would reccommend adding a liner inside as the wood may rott from the water 🙂

[@carolmiller6713]

Cedar doesn't rot easily. Especially with the drainage holes. That's why it is one of the best woods to use for above-ground garden boxes, as well as window boxes.

[@seraeggobutterworth5247]

I was going to suggest a liner as well, although not necessarily to prevent rotting/splitting, since cedar is pretty resistant to that... I was thinking of a liner if they feel like trying a DIY followup next year, to convert the box to a self-watering system. We did a few this spring and it was much easier than I thought it would be. Apart from the obvious benefit of easier watering, it also allowed us to channel excess water out of a single hole in the bottom of the box, _away_ from the side of the house. We have white brick, and the old drainage set-up, which was similar to what they did here, resulted in a certain amount of dirty water trickling down the face of the house beneath the window boxes.

[@antoniaschiffer4958]

My friend taught me to put a baby diaper, even a used one (no #2), into window boxes, under the dirt. They absorb water and help keep the soil moist if you can not get to watering everyday in the heat. It looks wonderful!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

ohh I've never heard that before! so interesting

[@ambersnyder4983]

Beautiful !

[@Sengerson]

This is absolutely gorgeous! Great job - I love love love how this looks!!

[@eddiemaldonado6668]

Clearly we know who the boss is on this project.

[@rkatika9]

What a great project, it turned out fabulous! Well done Lisa and Luke!

[@thefaithfulfarmermommathe_2111]

Oh Lisa! How stinkin' perfect under that window! Perfect for herbs and flowers! ❤️

[@debjh]

I could not love this more! Its stunning, and really fits the face of the house.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

thank you so much!

[@debraspringers2098]

I love the window boxed. Gorgeous.

[@starr6465]

Love your window box it adds so much more character. Thank you for sharing

[@sharonsomers5513]

The flower box looks beautiful. I love the pink and yellow flowers you put in it. ❤️

[@joycetaggart3123]

That is the frosting on the cake. I love it. I am happy for you to get something so pretty. You guys also did a great job and work together well. Joyce

[@ColleenH38]

Great job! The window box is perfect for your farmhouse!

[@christinewilliams7005]

LOVE the window boxes - great idea to use the decorative molding!

[@ritujac.9226]

Window box looks great! Love the mix of herbs and flowers. Mint is a must in a herb garden for us, we love mint in peach or raspberry hot tea. You’ve probably got commenters saying this, mint will take over, I think you have the option to leave it in a container and plant the container in the window box.

[@karenbaumgardner4109]

That added so much charm to the side of your farmhouse, soooo pretty! You can use crushed soda cans or styrofoam peanuts in the bottom for drainage instead of rocks-it keeps the weight down in boxes and planters. Can't wait to see it when all the plants fill out!

[@karenhogan731]

Beautiful ☺️🌸🌼

[@thesimplefarmhouse]

This is next on my list - I love the clean look of yours! It lets the flowers shine

[@lovinlife2535]

Love the window box! It's a beautiful addition to your home.

[@lucywilkins4784]

This looks great and you'll be able to enjoy it all the time as it's outside the kitchen window. Love how excited you were about it 😃 I get excited about projects like that too x

[@reneebergman714]

It came out gorgeous!! Just wait til all the flowers fill in! It is going to be beautiful!

[@vidz953]

Looks so good!!

[@dcat0603]

Looks great!

[@aprilculver4061]

Love your flower box if I were you I would plant some nasturtiums because they have edible blossoms and you can use them on food safely with herbs

[@theophanial9432]

Beautiful ! What a great idea! And I love the idea of cedar and eucalyptus in winter. Also sage and rosemary will still be green in winter ( I m in zone 7b)

[@petro3441]

Great job. Love it

[@happilyhomeschoolinginiowa455]

Little Daniel looks like a baby doll. So cute trying to peek around (2:40).

[@jeniedwards5999]

[@MakingitintheMountains]

[@gegeschannel8836]

Looks great. Want to make them

[@lavenderbutterfly2160]

What an amazing job you both did is so beautiful it really brightened up that window.

[@heyheyitskaren]

Omg I want a window box to when I buy my house. Adding maybe some mini roses, or lavender anything that has a strong scent so when I open the window it’s like an additional air scent for the house

[@donnasmith5697]

That looks so pretty! Another great project!!

[@DustyHeschl]

It is beautiful. Now I can't wait to get my window boxes installed!😉

[@donnawolfe8682]

So charming really looks nice. Glad you didn’t use brackets this looks so much better.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you! 😊

[@lizwalker791]

Oh, it looks wonderful..great job you two!

[@sinclairsaintclair]

Is there ANYTHING that Luke CANT do?! I Love that you can reach out the window for herbs. Very, Very, Very cute! Thanks Walmart.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

he's the best!

[@ebiosh2032]

This is so inspiring and uplifting!! Thank you for this great channel. Bless you and your family Lisa.

[@lesleyharris3198]

Hi, very pretty, you could add some of the trim to the top of the window, just as a finishing touch, now I want window boxes better wait till the external work is done and the raised beds are finished or I'm going to be in the doghouse.

[@hollyhawkins4824]

We're building some for our kitchen windows soon! Beautiful! For future reference you could just screw on the trim from the inside of the box.😃

[@bl7313]

Love it

[@tonip.3251]

So beautiful!

[@sarahgirard1405]

Gosh, I just love the window box! But hahaha the music kinda caught me off guard. :) it’s important to switch it up sometimes. Love your channel!
