From their fashion to their interiors, we're big fans of all things Scandinavian at the moment – so yes, you'd best believe we're heavily into the Scandi window box trend that we keep spying all over the place.

Now, bringing some Nordic flair into our gardens is nothing new; last year saw many of us take inspiration from the best Scandi garden design ideas around, whether that be rain harvesting or Sweden's pelargonsjuka look.
