From WGN, “The Sill in the Southport Corridor will help you find your happy place”

The Sill has been featured on WGN TV this week.

“CHICAGO — The Sill owners say the shop was founded on the simple premise that plants make people happy.

Eliza Blank founded The Sill in 2012. Passionate about plants, she wanted to help demystify them, make them accessible to non-horticulturists and elevate the experience beyond the local garden supply center or big box store.
