As our hopes for an Indian Summer fall and the unavoidable change of season
threatens with killing our seasonal Summer displays and non-hardy perennials,
it is time to think about the future and our new window box or container
displays.

If
you have the space or the intention to keep some of your non-hardy perennials
this is the moment to get organised with the space and materials that you are
going to need to provide over winter shelter to you lovely plants.
It
also time to think about what colours and plants you would like to use for your
autumn and/or winter display. And, of course, also time of choosing those
lovely bulbs for an early spring display. Autumn is the planting period for
ornamental onions, crocus, hyacinths, narcissus, tulips and trumpet daffodils
that will flower in Spring.

Window
boxes are versatile and the colours will light up your home with a welcoming feeling.
They can be filled with plants (real or artificial), branches (dogwood,
viburnum, holly, etc) and other decorative materials or even fruits ex:
Pumpkins, pine cones, etc.
