The Sill was founded on the premise that plants make people happy. There’s something in the simple act of being around, and caring for, plants that boosts our spirits and enhances our environments.

It’s actually been established that every exposure to nature—from gardening to forest bathing to just sharing space with organic elements—mitigates the modern condition, that stressed-out state we find ourselves in all too often.

So we offer new ways to infuse this restorative beauty into as many everyday rituals as possible, through biophilic design that increases your connection to the natural world. It will ground you, fortify you and light you up.

We know that Plants Make People Happy, and we want to empower you to be the best Plant Parent you can be.

Founder Eliza Blank started The Sill in 2012 at the age of 26, and the mission behind the female-founded brand was simple: to make gardening as easy as possible, and as wonderful as the plants themselves. The idea had sprouted years before when Eliza found herself in her first adult apartment. Bleak is how you’d describe it. Homesick is how you’d describe her. Her Mom, an immigrant who stayed connected to her Filipino roots through gardening, recommended she get some houseplants. Little did she know tapping into her family’s generational love of plants would grow into the small but mighty company that is The Sill.

Eliza instantly became passionate about plants, and keenly aware of the impact being around plants had on her growing up.

So she invites you to join us—whether you’ve never had a plant before or are adding to a budding collection—in cultivating a space, and a life, with plants. We know firsthand how wonderful it can be!
