According to the Chinese Calendar, 2013 is the year of the Snake - the sixth of twelve signs that make up the Chinese Zodiac. This year is meant for steady progress, attention to detail, focus and discipline (oh my…). In celebration, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite snake plant snapshots along with easy plant care tips to inspire you to embrace the snake this year, too. One of our favorite houseplants, the snake plant is a beautiful sculptural addition to any room, and it is incredibly easy to take of - tolerating, thriving even, from a forgetful (or busy!) owner.

Window boxes are miniature gardens. If you lack the time, energy, or space to maintain a large garden - you can still enjoy greenery in small yet striking ways with window boxes. Available in an endless amount of choices of color, texture, and size, you are sure to find one that is a perfect fit for the space you call home. Be inspired below, or here. 

Shhh! Can we tell you a secret? We have window boxes on the mind for a reason! Stay tuned (or sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on the latest happenings @ The Sill)
