How it works.

  1. Glass on three sides and the top.

    It's a box window that sticks out from the wall.

  2. Open the sides for air.

    You can get it with sides that open or sides that stay fixed.

  3. Good for growing herbs.

    An optional shelf adds a second level. Plants get sun all year.

  4. From outside.

    We fit the trim to your house, whether it's siding, brick, shake or stone.

What's in the window.

Your furnace's heat hits the coating and bounces back into the room.

Garden window in a home

Where it works best.

  • Over the kitchen sink

    This is where we recommend it: light, plants and a view while you work.

  • Herb lovers

    Herbs close to the stove, even in February.

  • Small kitchens

    Adds shelf space without using any counter.

  • Dark rooms

    Top glass brings in sky that a flat window can't.

Options.

Everything is built to order. We can go over all of this at your free measure.

Looking after it

Keep the sill dry under plant pots, use saucers, and clean the top glass from outside when you wash the others.

Garden questions.

Will it leak heat with all that glass?

It has more glass than a flat window, but it's the same Low-E, argon-filled glass in an insulated frame.

Can it fit in my existing kitchen window?

Usually. It's custom fabricated to the existing opening, and we'll check the size at your free measure.

What grows well in it?

Herbs like basil, parsley and chives, plus trailing houseplants. Most things that like bright light are happy.

Does the shelf come with it?

The plant shelf is an option. Tell us if you want it and we'll include it in your price.
