1992 - Present
It all started back in 1992, when Ben Busko was just 8 years old, selling decoupage inspired by his garden. Armed with a paint brush, Ben developed his design sensibility and technique piece-by-piece using imagery, a colorful palate and words in entirely new ways; and Ben's Garden was born.What began as Ben's passion for sharing his colorful and thoughtful world, transformed into opportunities for his customers. To share a bit about themselves, surround themselves with things they love, share a bit of wit and appreciation for fashion. It all wonderfully results in turning a house in to a home.Ben's charming designs are individually handcrafted using traditional artisan techniques honored for centuries, exclusively and entirely by hand in New York City. His ever-expanding collection includes coasters, superstrong™ magnets, French crystal paperweights, photo frames, artwork and his celebrated découpage glass trays and platters. Today, you can discover his refreshing and captivating collection of unique home, garden, gift and charm in our Ben’s Garden retail stores, more than 1800 high-end boutiques across the globe, in your favorite department stores and online at bensgarden.com. Meet your new friend Ben and be social @bensgarden. We'd love to say hello.
