There’s just something special about adding a touch of green to your home or workspace. Plants don’t just look beautiful—they bring a sense of calm, fresh air, and a little spark of joy to any room. At The Art Bucket, I'm excited to share that I now carry live plants and unique planters, giving you the perfect opportunity to bring the beauty of nature indoors. (PLUS - I just LOVE plants. They make me happy.)


Why Plants?

Studies have shown that plants can boost your mood, reduce stress, and even improve focus. Whether you’re caring for a leafy pothos, a cheerful succulent, or a statement plant that steals the show, greenery adds life and warmth that décor alone can’t match.


Current Plant Selection

As of today, our shop is stocked with a delightful variety of greenery, including:

  • African Violet – a classic favorite with bright blooms

  • Peperomia & Raindrop Peperomia – compact, charming plants with unique leaf shapes

  • Palm Fern – a light, airy green that adds tropical vibes

  • Succulents & Cactus – low-maintenance, quirky, and perfect for busy lifestyles

  • …and more seasonal selections arriving regularly!

Each of these plants pairs beautifully with our wide variety of planters, so you can mix and match until you find the perfect fit for your home or office.


Fun Planters That Fit Your Personality

What makes our plant collection extra special is the variety of fun and creative planters you’ll find in our shop. From colorful, quirky designs that bring a smile to your face, to simple, modern pots that fit seamlessly into any décor, we have options for every personality and space.


Add Your Own Artistic Touch

Want to take it one step further? At The Art Bucket, you can decorate your own planter and make it truly one-of-a-kind. Choose from our selection of plain pots and let your creativity flow with paint, stencils, or other embellishments. It’s a great project for individuals, families, or even small groups looking for a fun activity that leaves you with something beautiful and functional to take home.


Perfect Gifts & Easy Additions to Your Space

Plants in decorative planters also make fantastic gifts. Whether it’s a housewarming, birthday, or just a “thinking of you” gesture, a living plant is a thoughtful present that keeps on giving.


Stop by The Art Bucket to browse our current collection of live plants, discover planters that make you smile, or roll up your sleeves and decorate your own. You’ll leave with more than just a plant—you’ll leave with a little piece of joy to brighten your home.


And on we go!
