Welcome!
I'm Eliza, the Founder and CEO of The Sill. I'd love to share a bit about how The Sill came to be!
My mom cultivated my appreciation for plants, and is my role model for hard work. She came to the U.S. from the Philippines in her 20s, earned a second nursing degree and MBA, and spent over 30 years working for 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. I knew plants make people happy, but I was disappointed in the "urban gardening" experience. The options were limited and the bags of soil were too heavy to carry in the subway.
What started as an idea to connect people with plants has since become an online store, multiple storefronts in major cities across the U.S. and a global community of plant parents.
I invite you to explore our online store and if you are nearby, we would love to see you in person at one of our physical stores.
-Eliza
