Lincoln Wooden Window Box (oak)
This smart Lincoln Windowbox is equally suitable for town or country windowledges.
Lincoln window boxes are made from British Grown Oak, supplied with our easy to install, concealed wall hanger (together with all the fixings), plus holes in the base for good drainage. If you prefer we can supply it with a plain back to stand on the windowledge rather than hanging from the wall or fence. Just make a note in the 'special instructions' box on the way to checkout.

Nor were they afraid to use different colours: a cottage garden would mix red roses, blue delphiniums. yellow, rudbeckias, purple foxgloves and sweet peas in all shades, combining pastels with strong colours all at once. It is the opposite of the modern fashion for using only one or two plants in a single hue, and it still has a strong appeal.
To achieve the effect in a window box you need to choose perennial plants rather than popular bedding plants, to give the succession of effects and the critical mixture of textures.
