The Sill - Lower East Side

Central to The Sill's ethos is the belief that plants make people happier and healthier. This guiding principle has been The Sill's foundation for the past six years. I started The Sill when I was 26 in a tiny Chinatown walk-up in New York City. I set up shop in a borrowed office space before graduating to my first grown-up apartment—hey, we're all about plant puns here. It's fitting because that first apartment was pretty barren. I suppose you could call me homesick. I was told to buy a few houseplants by my mother, an immigrant who kept in touch with her Filipino culture by gardening. Who knew that my family's love of plants would turn into The Sill, a small but mighty business?

The Sill has received high praise from many reviewers. Customers have reported that their service staff is both friendly and knowledgeable, with storefront visits enabling visitors to speak about staff members and the real experience with their plants. The plants themselves are high quality and diverse, and customers have praised their long-term health, often noting that a plant has lived them for numerous years. Other buyers praised the website for its low prices, with many small and medium plants priced at $10 to $20. Some customers appreciated how shipping plants as gifts made recipients happy and how The Sill shipped them proficiently. Potential customers should know that The Sill has physical stores where they may receive excellent service and high-quality plants.
