When it comes to making the most of your dock, functionality and aesthetics can go hand in hand. Whether you’re using it for boating, fishing, swimming, or just soaking up some sunshine, your dock should be more than just a place to tie up the boat—it should be a space that reflects your lifestyle and brings you joy. That’s why the latest addition to Schwig’s offering with the  Connect-A-Dock system is extra exciting: floating garden boxes.

These new floating garden boxes are designed to bring life, color, and creativity to your dock—turning a simple structure on the water into a vibrant extension of your lakehouse. Whether you’re looking to grow flowers, herbs, or even your own fruits and vegetables, these floating gardens make it easy to blend beauty with utility right on the water. 

At Schwig’s, we’re dedicated to bringing you the latest innovations when it comes to building a fun escape on the water. These floating garden boxes are no exception, and offer incredible value by bundling hobbies like gardening with your other lakeside activities. 

Connect-A-Dock: A Platform for More Than Just Boating

The Connect-A-Dock system is known for its modular, versatile design—allowing users to create custom layouts for any waterfront need in the Midwest. Now, with Schwig’s floating garden boxes, it’s more than just a launch point for kayaks or a space for sunbathing. It’s a canvas for your next hobby—gardening on the water.

Floating garden boxes snap seamlessly into the Connect-A-Dock system, making them easy to add or rearrange without tools. They’re perfect for people who love to personalize their space and want their dock to do more than just sit pretty—it can now grow food, support wildlife, and provide a peaceful place to unwind.

A Perfect Fit for Families and Seniors Alike

One of the most beautiful things about gardening is that it can be enjoyed by just about anyone. With Schwig’s floating garden boxes, gardening becomes an experience the whole family can share—right on the water.

Young families with kids will love this hands-on opportunity to teach children where food comes from. Planting strawberries, cherry tomatoes, or herbs in the floating garden boxes is not only fun—it encourages healthy eating and connects kids with nature. 

For retired seniors, floating garden boxes offer a peaceful and low-impact activity that brings joy and movement to everyday dock visits. Whether it’s tending to blooming petunias or relaxing beside a box of fresh basil and lavender, gardening on the water creates a tranquil setting for reflection and enjoyment. It’s an easy way to add life and beauty to a dock without needing a full yard or garden bed. Plus, it’s fun to garden with grandkids when the whole family is at the lake together. 

A Dock That Feels Like Home

The addition of Schwig’s floating garden boxes turns your dock into a welcoming, lively retreat. Imagine relaxing with a book, surrounded by blooms swaying gently with the current, or enjoying a dockside picnic with the scent of fresh herbs in the air. These boxes are not only practical—they’re a visual upgrade that makes any dock feel more inviting and lived-in.

The best part? You can rearrange your layout anytime. The Connect-A-Dock system makes it easy to adapt your dock to fit your current needs, hobbies, and aesthetic goals.
