Susie has such a wealth of incredible knowledge and shared so much useful information with us. We felt all of our questions were well answered and the workshop was really fun. It was also excellent value for money given Susie's level of experience and the knowledge shared. We would highly recommend.

An enjoyable evening.

I now feel fully armed with the knowledge to give them their best chance of survival, as well as having an idea of how some of my outdoor gardening could also be improved, would thoroughly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Frances, attended May 2025: Absolute joy to sit in the blissful surroundings of Susie’s wonderful house plant haven which I came across whilst on holiday. Who knew the components of compost could be so fascinating?! Susie is so generous with her vast knowledge and her wonderful style made the course very relaxed. Day one of being back at home and I’ve already repotted half my house plants in the correct soil! Just loved the course and would highly recommend.

Here at Windowsill, we love houseplants, and we want you to love them too! We have a gorgeous shop at 2 Roman Way, Market Harborough with a wonderful dedicated workshop space upstairs. We've created a wonderfully warm and nurturing space where you can enjoy our small group events.
Windowsill is run by Susie, who leads our houseplant-focused workshops. She has been looking after houseplants for most of her life and passes on this experience in a relaxed and informative way, so you can stop worrying and start to enjoy your houseplants.
Susie is an experienced teacher, having spent part of her previous non-houseplant-related work life writing and delivering training courses on tricky topics. It's a joy to now be sharing her love of houseplants so that you can increase your confidence and knowledge and develop skills to grow your own indoor jungle.
When she is not in the shop, Susie is a much sought-after speaker delivering talks to Women's Institutes and gardening clubs; whether it is a group of 80 in a village hall or a small session in the shop, you'll be sure to come away entertained and with a new motivation to enjoy your houseplants.
