Popular houseplant business set to open new shop in Harborough’s iconic ​former fire station

Windowsill Plants will open its first stand-alone store at the old fire station on Abbey Street, after building up a loyal fanbase over the past three-and-a-half years from concessions in other retailers' premises.

Owner Susie Lickman said: “The vision for Windowsill has always been to offer a warm welcome. A shop where you can look at beautiful plants and receive genuinely helpful advice, matching the perfect plant with you and your surroundings.”

“Plants are for everyone. Even if you’re a total plant novice, or have limited previous success, we can find the perfect houseplant to enhance your environment and grow with you.”

After a spell of new store openings on Abbey Street, Susie is delighted to be joining them, adding: “I’m thrilled to be opening our first completely independent shop in such an iconic building, and delighted to be joining a growing collection of independent stores on the street!”

Windowsill Plants will open its doors on Thursday November 10, with an official launch party to follow.

The store will open from Thursday - Sunday, including some extended evening opening hours.
