Hello fellow plant people! It’s The Sill’s 9th Birthday, and some of you are new here. So I thought I’d take a moment to share a bit about myself and the story of how The Sill came to be. ​​My Mom came to the U.S. from the Philippines in her 20s, earned a second nursing degree and an MBA and spent over 30 years working for the same hospital in western Mass. In her free time, she cultivated a beautiful garden and tended to her houseplants. She is the driving force behind my appreciation for plants (and my role model for hard work). When I left home for New York City, I attempted to fill my first apartment with plants, but I was disappointed in the experience of “urban gardening”. You could say I had a hunch (Plants Make People Happy) and the hustle, and sometimes that’s enough. What started as an idea to connect people with plants, has since become an online storefront, a subscription, 6 brick-and-mortar stores in 4 major cities, and a global community of plant parents—all powered by The Sill’s talented team.
It hasn’t been easy (find the nitty-gritty details here).
From living off PB&J sandwiches to surpassing $1MM in revenue while bootstrapped, a feat only 2% of female-led businesses achieve. But every milestone is a part of our story, one that is far from complete. So, thanks so much for finding yourself here—and for supporting, celebrating, and growing with us. Eliza
