For a closer look at our world of bold botanicals, charming words, and hand-drawn design, visit www.bensgarden.com 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. 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.

Some paintings start in the studio. This one was born in third grade.

Years ago, my teacher at Setauket School had a flower field in Old Field, right near the Old Field lighthouse— and I happened to take one photo of it- that I’ve never been able to forget. Cornflowers in that impossible blue. Cosmos leaning into the light like they had somewhere to be. My favorites, then and now.

There is nothing more romantic than a natural field of flowers. No arrangement, no design — just whatever the wind and the bees decided. I’ve been trying to paint my way back to that field ever since.

Oil on panel, painted this week in NYC. We will have an artist gallery opening of original oils and prints later this summer, due to the popularity. TBA, please subscribe to our newsletter to receive an invitation.

Curious what you 🌸 think of this one.

Some tables are 🍉 set. Ours is gathered.

There’s a particular alchemy to a long summer lunch — the kind that begins with good intentions at noon and surrenders, gracefully, to the golden hour. Where the watermelon sweats, the citrus perfumes the air, and the conversation outlasts the ice in the glasses.

These trays were made for exactly that. Handmade glass, decoupaged by hand in our Brooklyn studio, each one carrying a small story: a champagne cork mid-flight, a mahjong tile, a flag flying since ’76, the word Friendship in letters worn smooth by good company.

Old craft. New season. Made to be passed around a table until the candles burn low.

The Table 🌻 Is Set for Summer — now in the shop at bensgarden.com and 📍IRL in store.

painted our Stony Brook shop instead of cleaning it. Worth it.

This is summer at Ben’s Garden — golden light, people strolling down the blue stone paths, and somebody’s kid with a watermelon 🍉 slice doing the most. Swing by, stay a while, leave with something handmade.

📍 — open all summer.

As featured in Vogue. Your photo, wedding invitation, baby shower announcement or grandma’s favorite family recipe- handcrafted into a Ben’s Garden decoupage glass tray in our New York studio — the kind of piece that turns a snapshot into an heirloom. Choose from six sizes, artisans take about six weeks to complete. Family portraits, the ones you almost lost in the camera roll, the moments worth framing in glass.

Dad’s not subtle about the golf thing. Neither are we. ⛳️

POV: Dad says he “doesn’t want anything” for the 47th year in a row 🧰

So we built him something he can’t regift — a toolbox that’s actually a love letter. Hand-decoupaged trays, a “Pops: The Man, The Myth, The Legend” stunner, and a “Dear Dad, I Love You” piece that’ll make him do the thing where he clears his throat and says “wow, this is really nice” and then changes the subject.

Father’s Day picks live now on bensgarden.com and 📍IRL at a Ben’s Garden near you. Don’t be the kid who panics on the 14th.

⛳ Tee up Father’s Day.

For the dad who’d rather be reading greens than greeting cards — we’ve curated the lineup that actually lands. Cards with something to say. Keepsakes that earn mantel space (not drawer purgatory). Gifts that thread the needle between heartfelt and “okay, you really get me.”

🏆 Shop the Mast-Have Father’s Day Collection at bensgarden.com or swing by 📍Ben’s Garden IRL.

I grew up watching my father paint with oils — a blank canvas becoming a landscape in front of me. It felt like magic.

Thirty years later, I’m painting the places that still feel like home — the corners that hold comfort, familiarity, warmth. His technique is in my hands; the subjects are mine.

Curious what you think.
