full service, maintenance-free WINDOWBOXES & PLANTERS

Linda Ekendahl is excited to bring WOW Windowboxes® to the western and northwestern suburbs of Chicago, offering custom window boxes, seasonal plantings, and automatic drip irrigation that transform homes and businesses into neighborhood showpieces throughout Oak Brook, Hinsdale, Elmhurst, Downers Grove, Western Springs, La Grange, Barrington, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Buffalo Grove, Lake Zurich, and the surrounding communities of DuPage, Cook & Lake County.

The western and northwestern suburbs of Chicago are places where attention to detail is simply part of the culture. From the gated estates of Oak Brook’s Midwest Club and Brook Forest to the tree-lined streets of Hinsdale and the vibrant, walkable neighborhoods of Oak Park, these are communities where homeowners have always taken deep pride in how their properties look and feel. Linda has called this region home and understands these communities from the inside. She knows what drives the people who live here, and she knows exactly what WOW Windowboxes® can do for them.

Linda’s entrepreneurial journey is genuinely one of a kind. Born in Sweden, she moved to Spain before immigrating to the United States at 16 with big ambitions and boundless determination. She set a goal early on: become a cheerleader. Not just any cheerleader, but an NCAA cheerleader at the University of Connecticut, which is exactly what she did. After graduating from UConn, Linda launched her career in media sales, where a chance encounter with a new client changed everything. That client was Edible Arrangements, and Linda became the owner of the very first Edible Arrangements location in Illinois. Over the next two decades she grew that business to two thriving stores, building a reputation for warm, personal service and operational excellence. She speaks four languages. She knows how to build something from scratch. And she knows how to make people smile.

When Linda discovered WOW Windowboxes®, she recognized something familiar: a beautifully simple service that creates genuine delight, delivered with care and consistency. The western and northwestern suburbs already have beautiful homes. WOW is the finishing touch that makes them unforgettable.

“To me, windowboxes are like jewelry for the home — small details that create big joy, just like the feeling I loved bringing to people through Edible Arrangements. After two decades of building businesses rooted in beauty, service, and delight, I believe WOW Windowboxes will bring that same spark to DuPage County: elevating curb appeal, brightening neighborhoods, and giving homeowners a simple, elegant way to feel proud of where they live.”
