What are Greenhouse Windows?
These windows are also known as a garden windows. This is a window that extends out, creating a wide windowsill for plants to be placed on.
It is made of multiple window panels to create a glass enclosure that extends beyond the exterior surface of the wall. It allows for ample light to enter the room and helps plants that are placed in the window to grow.

These are typically placed in the kitchen simply because that's the room where the family spends the most time, and can best appreciate the plants.
According to the writers at www.homedoctor.net, plants in these garden windows can thrive without having to deal with the outside elements. These writers also note that it makes it easier for the homeowners to tend to their gardens because they don't have to mill around in the dirt on their hands and knees.
Since their gardens are inside, homeowners can enjoy the beauty of the plants during winter months. It also adds a sense of freshness to a room.
