How To Bring Your Outdoor Garden Inside

You found your dream home

You found your dream home. You redecorated, maybe even did some renovations. Last but not least, you tackled the yard. For weeks, you ripped up weeds, toiled the soil, dug in the dirt, and planted a floral family to admire. After all that work, it would be a shame to only see it from outside. What if there was even a way to continue it on the inside? Garden windows, also called greenhouse windows, are made just for this purpose.

What is a garden window?

The most telling feature of the garden window is that they protrude from the structure in which they're installed, as though popped out from the house. Think of a glass box with a deep window sill, on which plants sit. Getting the picture? If so, then you should be seeing a miniature greenhouse. This architectural window is perfect addition for the plant-lover who wants to bring the outside in.

What plants can survive in a greenhouse window?

This is a great question for your local florist, because he or she knows your climate. The obvious answer might be an indoor plant, but don't move so fast. Plants that sit in garden windows are exposed to sun nearly as much as outdoor plants. What you most likely want are plants that:

Do not bloom

Do not get too large

Can handle fluctuations in temperature

One of the most important things to remember about garden windows is the plants inside of them. It's easy to attend to the outdoor gang and forget about the ferns resting above your kitchen sink. A few things you can do to keep these roommates in mind are:

Keep a spray bottle full of water on your counter

Give them a splash when you walk by so that it's done for the day

Make it part of your morning or evening routine

Before long, your garden window is a show-stopper to guests who haven't even ventured into the backyard oasis yet.
