The Sill's online workshop series includes both free and paid tutorials -- priced at $10 per ticket on average -- that take participants through key topics like plants 101, plant care, the art of potting and more.
The Sill's "mission is to make the experience of discovering the perfect potted plants as wonderful as the plants themselves" and is dedicated in "offering products and services that fit with your personal style, your lifestyle, and your budget."
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the retailer's online workshops were launched in place of its popular in-store events. As a result of social distancing measures and a pause of in-person events, many businesses are taking branded workshops online and are finding value in virtual marketing thanks to its safe and cost-effective model.
