Cons and Drawbacks

Garden windows aren’t for everyone. If you plan to grow plants in it, you should be certain that they will grow well in your area and won’t get too cold or too hot. Garden windows can attract a lot of moisture, leading to plant rot and mold. Installing ventilated windows can help relieve the excessive moisture, but they are an added expense. Because the windows are out away from the house, they can also leak outside rain and moisture into the window. This can affect the window function and mold or mildew potential in your kitchen.

Expense

Garden windows can be quite a bit more expensive that just a simple window. You can expect to pay anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 for a garden window. Since the window is actually made of multiple windows, you can understand how the cost is calculated. Adding in ventilated windows can make them more expensive, as well. That said, they are less expensive than bay windows due to their smaller size.
