One of the first things
you notice while wandering around Charleston, especially south of Broad is the
abundance of stunning window boxes overflowing with beautiful flowers on
almost all the homes. Many of these homes in the historic district were built during
the 1700 and 1800s. These homes were built close to the street, many sharing exterior
walls with little green space; therefore planters are the only gardening
space available…at least on the front of the home. Although many of these houses have
small gardens or patios in the back, hidden from the street.
If you look closely at
some of the photos you will see the boxes have a drip irrigation system, so the
owners don’t even have to water these window boxes…the secret to why they
always look so pretty.
Here are just a few of the wonderful window boxes. If you'd like to see more click here to visit my photo album.
