DESIGNER WINDOWBOXES - 12 WAYS WITH A ZINC WINDOW BOX

Back in 2003, a dozen members of the gardening elite were asked to each design a windowbox to raise money for charity at The Daily Telegraph House and Garden Fair. They were each given a zinc window box to style.

These mini show gardens range from the edible window box:

Roy Strong's zinc window box shown above - inspired by Beatrice Potter and Mr McGregor!

To the low maintenance window box:


This sumptuous planting was created by top garden designer Arabella Lennox Boyd and features pelargonium 'Lord Bute' and Helichrysum petiolare 'Silver' for summer long interest

To a miniature version of Versaille in a windowbox - created by Paul Cooper and Bonita Bulaitis
