***HOUSEPLANT CARE WORKSHOP***

Would you like to learn more about how to keep your houseplants happy? Do you struggle to understand how much water they need? Do you even know what bright indirect light is or what it means to your plants?

Our Houseplant Care workshop might be just what you need. We cover the basics to make houseplants more joyful and less stressful. This is for everyone - whether you're a complete beginner with one plant or looking to expand your collection.

Not sure you'll enjoy it? Unsure if it will be any good? Worried if we know what we're talking about? Have a look at our reviews - 5* across the board. It's informal and informative. Come along with friends or by yourself and make new houseplant friends.

Next session: Friday 15th May, 6-8pm in our upstairs workshop space at 2 Roman Way, Market Harborough

***ITALIAN HOLIDAY***

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

Change up your decor or find that perfect plant - pot combo to match your mood.

***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
🪴 Sunday 19/04, closed

***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:
☘️ Thursday 10am-4pm
☘️ Friday 10am-4pm

***TRANSFORMATIONS***

Just one week ago it was wet paint, moving boxes, and a lot of heavy lifting. And now after our first weekend, our new home feels like we’ve been here forever, we’re finally catching our breath!

***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).

***THE OLD FIRE STATION**" Find us open Saturday

***THE OLD FIRE STATION**"

Find us open Saturday and Sunday before the big move! It’s our last weekend in this beautiful space before our relocation so come on by to find something lovely to brighten up your windowsill or find the perfect gift.

Saturday 28th: 10am-5pm
Sunday 01st: 10.30am-3pm

***FINAL WEEK at THE OLD FIRE STATION***

I can’t believe this is our last week trading in the Old Fire Station, and what a beautiful adventure these last few years have been here.

Swipe through to see our opening times this week.

As a small, independent business, this move is big risk but we believe it’s the right move for us, now. Our new home offers us more visibility, a dedicated space for our 5* rated workshops and even heating!!

But more on the new space later, for now we look forward to welcoming you in this week to say goodbye to the Old Fire Station.

***OUR NEW HOUSEPLANT HAVEN*** Market Harborough,

***OUR NEW HOUSEPLANT HAVEN***

Market Harborough, we have a big announcement. We are on the move!

We've been trading in Market Harborough since 2019 and we love it here. Our new place is smack in the centre of town, a stone's throw from all your favourite Harborough institutions at 2 Roman Way.

Apart from the new address pretty much everything else will remain the same. It will be the same warm, welcoming, safe space for everyone. We will continue to stock the very best quality houseplants, stylish pots, brilliant Soil Ninja soils and great accessories. We'll continue to make sure you get the right plant and give you reliable advice on where to place it and how to care for it. You will still be able to come to our 5* rated workshops.

We can’t wait to share more over the next couple of weeks as we prepare. In the meantime, please do pop in to make the most of our beautiful Old Fire Station whilst we’re still here. We are open as usual this week:

Thursday 26/02, 10am-4pm
Friday 27/02, 10am-4pm
Saturday 28/02, 10am-5pm
Sunday 01/03, 10.30am-3pm

***SHOP TO LET***

We love our gorgeous shop in the Old Fire Station, Abbey Street, Market Harborough, but the time has come for us to move to a new venue which better suits our business (more on our new place later!).

As a result this iconic shop unit is available to rent - from the beginning of March, although we can be a little flexible. If you are looking to take the next step with your business and would like more information about the shop please contact us - message or email or pop in.

***BIG PLANTS, BIG OFFER***

It's Twelfth Night, so we should all have taken our Christmas decorations down and cleared up ready to face the New Year with a clean slate. As you sit down and look around your living room you might find yourselves staring at a Christmas tree shaped gap and a yearning for something green to fill it.

Houseplants are often the answer to many of life's problems and we're here to help you out again. During January we are offering 20% off all our big plants (*over £35). This offer applies to plants bought in store or ordered and paid in full by 31/01/26.

So why not get yourself a majestic Monsters (Swiss Cheese), a scene-stealing Schefflera (umbrella tree), a stylish Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise) or a person-sized Pachira (money tree). Pop in the find your perfect plant, safe in the knowledge we'll always make sure it's right for your space and leave with a new houseplant friend and all the information to keep it happy. You can also message us (on social media or by email) to start the process of finding your perfect big plant.

We are back to our usual opening times: Thursday (10am-4pm), Friday (10am-4pm), Saturday (10am-5pm),; Sunday (10.30am-3pm). Check our stories for any changes or weather issues.

***THAT'S US FOR THE YEAR***

We are now closed. We will reopen on Friday 02nd January 2026, 10am-3pm.

***SPECIAL EVENTS*** Just a heads-up for you all

***SPECIAL EVENTS***

Just a heads-up for you all of the special events that we've got coming up over the festive season.

This Friday 28th November it's Late Night Shopping in Market Harborough. A brilliant relaxed shopping event with plenty of independent shops (and some of the bigger chains too). We will be open until 8.30pm. It's your chance to get everything tucked off your list without struggling through the crowds - all whilst supporting small businesses. It's a classic win-win. Check Market Harborough Late Night Shopping online for more information on the shops participating.

The following two weekends (6/7th & 13/14th December) we will be at Lamport Hall, bringing beautiful houseplants for the masses. This is a great day out, with lots of fantastic stalls and fun festive activities. This is a paid entry event with tickets bookable online through Lamport Hall website. The shop will be open both weekends (*slightly reduced opening times - we will let you know) with Karin and Mr windowsill dinning the apron and ready to help. If you are looking for more in depth help or advice you might want to check the days that Susie is there.

As if trading at Lamport Hall for the first two weekends of December isn't enough we're fitting in a cheeky return to Warwick Arts Centre on Tuesday 09th December. We had a fabulous time at their Fresher's event a couple of months ago and are looking forward to going back with more houseplant loveliness.

The best thing about all these events is that we've spent some extra time thinking about what beautiful houseplants and gorgeous pots you all might like and will have some special combinations available throughout the next month both at the events and in the shop.

***PERFECT POTS*** Aw, I love a family photo sess

***PERFECT POTS***

Aw, I love a family photo session where everyone dresses up in coordinating clothes. Here I've managed to wrangle my plant children into shades of white for a snowy festive feel.

There's loads of pots in the shop in lots of different sizes and colour ways. Once we've helped you find your perfect plant and we've explained all about how to look after it you can match it to your perfect pot.

OPENING TIMES: Thursday and Friday 10am-4pm, Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 10.30am-3pm. Check our stories for any changesto these times before you come in.

*In case you missed it - we sent out an email newsletter this week, including a special offer for our shop birthday. Subscribe using the link in our bio to catch up.
