windowsill garden

Sunlit ledge plants

A windowsill garden is a small collection of plants grown indoors on a windowsill, typically herbs, succulents, or small flowers that thrive in limited space with natural light.

The term emphasizes both the location and the modest scale: She keeps a windowsill garden of basil and mint for cooking.

Urban dwellers without outdoor space often maintain windowsill gardens as their primary connection to growing things.
