Beautiful houseplants to make you happy.

***IT'S ALL GO***

We've got a busy week ahead - and hopefully great weather so we can enjoy everything that's happening.

Our gorgeous shop is open and fully stocked with beautiful houseplants and stylish pots. You'll always find the best quality houseplants and whether you're buying for yourself or a gift, there's nothing we like more than helping you find the exact right plant and pot.

We'll be staying open a bit later on Thursday 02nd July - 10am-8pm, along with lots of other shops in town for the late night shopping event to celebrate our brilliant independent businesses. There'll be lots of treats and special offers and we'd love to see you.

On Sunday 05th July the centre of town will be packed with fabulous classic cars. Although the roads are closed you should be able to park fairly close and walk in to enjoy a really great day out. We'll have slightly extended hours, 10am-4pm.

Also on Sunday 05/07 at 3pm, we are running our brilliant Succulent Bowl workshop. There are spaces still available - message to book or check online.

***LEICESTER BOTANIC GARDENS***

It's one of my favourite days tomorrow - Sunday 28th June, when we visit Leicester University Botanic Gardens for their Family Day & Plant Sale. We'll be bringing lots of beautiful houseplants and look forward to catching up with how your purchases from previous years are growing.

It's a great day out, with lots to see and buy, loads of fabulous plant nurseries and gorgeous makers and outstanding cake & samosas. Gates open at 10am and entry is £6 for adults (free for children). Bring the whole family - you'll need all the extra hands to carry everything home!

The shop will be OPEN from 11am-3pm and you'll have Fred answering all your questions.

***BRILLIANT WORKSHOPS***

If you're looking for something a bit different to celebrate the father figure in your life why not get him a place on one of our brilliant workshops. Even better - why not come along too and spend a bit of time together in our gorgeous shop.

We've got really helpful Houseplant Care. Have a look at what people have said about the session - all genuine reviews for this 5* workshop.

We also have new dates for Terrarium building workshops online.

Book any of our workshops online. Just visit our website (link in bio) for more information and dates.

***THE WORST & THE BEST*** My Friday didn't go as

***THE WORST & THE BEST***

My Friday didn't go as planned; I was woken up to the notifications pinging on my phone from kind people letting me know my front door had been smashed in. It was pretty upsetting to get to the shop to find someone had broken in overnight, had a good look behind the counter and made off with the petty cash tin. Thankfully no plants were damaged.

There's a lot of admin that results from something like this and I'm lucky Mr windowsill helped get things moving. I had a visit from the Police forensics officer, so it was good to know this was being taken seriously.

And the best? I've been blown away by the kindness and support shown in person and on socials. From lovely hugs from Alison @hellotwooldgoats, coffee and security chat from my neighbours @thewineshed & @gingerkate, consolation snacks from @garagebakehouse and practical help from @hobbsfishmongers and wonderful Luke.

To the folks who patiently waited until I was able to open later in the afternoon and those understanding people who are coming back tomorrow and all of you expressing your support, those of you who popped in to check in with me - thank you.

Some days it's really hard running a tiny retail business by yourself. And some days you realise you're not by yourself at all.

Back OPEN tomorrow as usual, 10am-5pm.

Inspired by the colours of the Amalfi coast and long Italian lunches in the shade of a lemon tree we love these new pots from @ivylinegb

***OPEN***

We are back to our usual opening times this week - and for the next few months. You will find us OPEN Thursday to Sunday with beautiful houseplants to make you happy, stylish pots, brilliant soils, great accessories, helpful advice and always a warm welcome.

Keep an eye on our Stories for any changes to our hours.

***BEAUTIFUL HOUSEPLANTS*** We're not open today

***BEAUTIFUL HOUSEPLANTS***

We're not open today but felt this totally gorgeous Tradescantia quadricolor deserved a spot on the grid. It's absolutely massive - in a 24cm diameter pot and positively bursting with joy. Tradescantia are such an easy group of plants, fast growing and pretty flexible about positioning. To get the best from this plant we'd suggest a bright spot away from strong direct sunlight. The plant grows very quickly but pinching back the lengths keeps it looking full and lush.

Too much fabulousness? We've also got these in 12cm pots. Visit us at 2 Roman Way, Market Harborough to pick up the plant of your dreams.

Our opening times are slightly different this week:
🪴 Thursday 16/04, 10am-4pm
🪴 Friday 17/04, 11am-3pm
🪴 Saturday 18/04, 10.30am-3.30pm

***CARDS***

We all know that houseplants make great gifts - what could be better to receive than a beautiful houseplant in a stylish pot. All you need is a fabulous card to complete the gift and we are delighted to have had a restock of wonderful cards from @emilycroftonarts. Emily makes these vibrant lino cut prints based on plants and flowers and we think these cards fit right in at the shop. You can find more of her work and larger prints in her Etsy shop or at a local market or event.

We are open this weekend - Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 10.30am-3pm. You'll find us at 2 Roman Way, Market Harborough; pop in to choose a card for your stash.

***OXALIS TRIANGULARIS*** This week has been all

***OXALIS TRIANGULARIS***

This week has been all about this firm customer favourite - Oxalis triangularis or the Brazilian butterfly plant or false shamrock. It was my pick for 'plant of the moment' when I was chatting to Ben Jackson from BBC Radio Leicester earlier in the week (we were actually talking about how Market Harborough is indeed a fabulous place) and also features in the 'Houseplant Focus' section of our latest windowsill newsletter

If you'd like to learn more about this beautiful houseplant and how to keep it happy you can sign up for our newsletter via the subscribe page on our website. Don't worry - we won't spam you with daily emails, just occasional emails packed with news, information about workshops, houseplant hints and special offers.

If you'd like to buy a gorgeous Oxalis for yourself or as a gift, pop in to see us at 2 Roman Way, Market Harborough. We are OPEN this week as usual:

***MOVING DAY***

It's moving day for us today. If you've been past our new shop at 2 Roman Way you may have seen that we've been busy inside painting and assembling some new shelving; today we are taking (almost) everything out of the Old Fire Station and trying to find the right places for all our stock in the new shop. That's all the large furniture as well as boxes and boxes of pots, soils, accessories and a few plants too. We've got a big plant delivery coming tomorrow so we need to be organised so that can be sorted and displayed.

None of this would be possible without our very own Mr windowsill and Mark & keV from @mdk_logistics (highly recommended, 5*).

Looking forward to the space coming together ready for our opening day on Friday 06th March (* probably).
