this is funny as we are in the midst (that is my husband is) of building a bench to hold plants. IN the past we have had shelves in the window that are supported by metal strips that brackets fit into (available at hardware big box stores) you may need four supports if you window is angled. And the shelves would need to be cut to fit the shape of the window,
Hi Lisa, you can find any design you like and alter the measurements to fit the bay window

You could also use hooks in the bay window ceiling to hang some plants at varying heights.
