WOW Windowboxes is a home and commercial landscaping service franchise specializing in custom windowboxes, planters, and seasonal floral arrangements. Its services include designing, building, installing, planting, and maintaining decorative containers, with automatic drip irrigation available.

Sue Schneider founded WOW Windowboxes in 2007 in Cincinnati, Ohio, after creating windowbox arrangements for friends and neighbors. Her son Bret later joined the business, helping develop a service model combining custom containers, irrigation, and seasonal planting.

WOW Windowboxes subsequently introduced a franchise program based on its residential and commercial services. Its teams provide planting arrangements throughout the year, replacing flowers and greenery as seasons change. The business also offers ongoing maintenance to help customers keep their displays in good condition.
