Supporting Local Artists: Our Commitment to Handmade, Local Creations at Put a Plant On It
At Put a Plant On It we are passionate about supporting our local artist community. Since before we even opened our doors, our mission has been clear: to exclusively showcase handmade, locally crafted goods. We proudly feature the work of nearly 100 local artists, from unique botanically themed art to one-of-a-kind home décor pieces, ensuring that every item in our shop is made with care and creativity—not mass-produced in a factory.
Why Supporting Local Artists Matters
Our commitment to local artists isn’t just a business decision—it’s the heart and soul of what we do. When you shop with us, you're not only getting beautifully crafted, sustainable products, but you're also supporting the Buffalo art community and the creative individuals who live and work here. Every purchase is a step towards sustaining local artisans and helping them thrive in their craft.
By choosing local, we help foster a culture of creativity, community, and sustainability. Supporting local makers reduces environmental impact, ensures higher-quality craftsmanship, and keeps dollars within our community—empowering Buffalo’s artists to continue creating.
Why We Don’t Carry Factory-Made Products
From the beginning, we’ve made it our mission to avoid factory-made, mass-produced items. We believe in the personal touch that only handmade goods can provide, and we are proud to offer products with a story behind them. Each piece you find in our shop has been crafted with care by a local artist, whose talent and creativity shine through in every detail.

We’re Always Looking for Local Artists
Although we’re a small shop with limited space, we are always excited to discover new local artists whose work fits our vision. All art must be made for plants, made from plants, or have a botanical theme to align with our shop’s aesthetic.
