Ideas for Great Curb Appeal
Add Charm with Window Boxes
Beautiful gardens in miniature—that's the essential appeal of window boxes. No matter if you lack the time, money, or energy to maintain large, sumptuous borders, you can still enjoy colorful flowers and foliage in planters that are small enough to change in five minutes and striking enough to give your house a new look.

Look Cool for Summer
This window box dresses up the front of the home while providing extra gardening space. Horticulturist Tracee Lund, of Potted
Pleasures in Charleston, South Carolina, used light colors to evoke a cooler feel in summer. The white, chartreuse, and green
also pick up the colors of the house and small front garden.
What's planted: 'Aaron' white caladium, 'Key Lime Pie' heuchera, 'White Nancy' spotted dead nettle, holly fern, ivy, and light pink periwinkle
