Welcome!
I'm Eliza, the Founder of The Sill, and I'd love to share a bit about how we came to be!
My mom instilled in me a love for plants and a strong work ethic. She came to the U.S. from the Philippines in her 20s, earned a second nursing degree and an MBA, and dedicated over 30 years to working in a hospital in western Massachusetts. In her free time, she cultivated a beautiful garden and tended to her houseplants.
When I left home for New York City, I attempted to fill my first apartment with plants. Knowing how much happiness plants bring from my mom, I was disappointed by the limited local options and the inconvenience of lugging heavy bags of soil on the subway.
This sparked the idea for The Sill. What started as an effort to connect people with plants has since become an online store with a dedicated team providing expert guidance to a thriving community of plant parents.
Whether you’re new to plants or an experienced gardener, I invite you to join us in cultivating a space, and a life, filled with plants. I know firsthand how wonderful it can be.
