If You Don't Have a Sense of Humor About Gardening, Your Plants Will Be Bored

Created for urban gardeners (who else would need a whole section called "Living Off The Land – On The 22nd Floor"?), Windowbox.com is a light refreshing alternative that refuses to take gardening seriously.

The edgy sense of humor of Windowbox.com, an interactive website founded in 1998 by Balcony Gardner Ben Swett, reflects a new take on gardening, that provides an online gardening alternative.

How many of us would like plants in our lives, but are intimidated by gardening websites that feature several million items? Traditional gardening websites are like traditional gardening; too much time is required, and you have to be an expert to even get started. Swett's primary goal is to simplify taking care of plants for the person who doesn't have the space, time, talent or patience for gardening. If you've ever found yourself lost in a garden store or site, or so overwhelmed by the seemingly simple task of planting a potted plant, don't throw in the trowel! As Ben says, "We don't sell thousands of items, just a few that really work!"

Windowbox.com is dedicated to a few basic ideas:

  • Plants make the world a better place.
  • People need plants.
  • Having plants doesn't have to be tricky or time consuming.
  • With help, even blackthumbs can keep plants alive.

Witty names and products like Canned Land (as featured in In-Style Magazine's March 2000 issue), the Urboxä (a "just add water" garden that arrives at your doorstep ready to go…easier to install than most software!) and Lucky Bamboo (Feng Shui will save your life!), plus helpful utilities like The Floracleä, are just some of the reasons to invest a few minutes checking out Windowbox.com.
