Small greenhouse-style windows that project from the wall and hold plants above a sink or counter.
A garden window is a small box of glass that projects from the wall, with a glass shelf inside. It brings light to plants, herbs and small collections, and it adds a little depth to the room. Most people put them over kitchen sinks, where the extra space and light are most useful. Homeowners in Nashville use them to bring a bit of outdoor feeling into an older kitchen.
We measure the opening and check the wall and the cabinet below. We recommend a size and a glass package, often with side vents that open for air. We install the window with a sloped top, flashing and a sealed base, then insulate and trim it. We also talk about plant care, since a garden window can run warm in the sun, and about shades or film if the south side gets too hot.
The projecting glass catches light from the front and the sides, which suits herbs and small plants.
Many garden windows have vents on the sides, so warm air can escape without opening the whole unit.
The slanted roof sheds rain, and flashing at the wall keeps water from getting behind the unit.
South-facing garden windows can get hot, so we discuss glass and shading.

Most often over a kitchen sink, but they can work in other rooms with sun and a sturdy wall.
A well-flashed unit with a sealed base and sloped roof stays dry.
On a sunny wall they can. Glass choice and shades help.
