Here's what you get.
Two gifts cover the membership. Everything after is surplus.
See every benefit in detail↓A thoughtful collection of privileges, offered throughout the year.
A full-sized piece from the studio, chosen from the work we are proudest of that season. Not a sample, not a second, and worth up to $72.
Every personal order ships free, all year, with no minimum and no code to remember. One card or a stack of trays, on us.
See every new design before it is announced to anyone else. It matters most on the small runs, which sell out before the newsletter does.
Made for Friends and offered nowhere else: not in our stores, not on the website, not through wholesale. When the batch is gone, it is gone.
Unreleased designs, sent to Friends before they go into production, so you hold the work while it is still being decided.
Standing offers from the makers, florists and independent shops we admire and buy from ourselves. Quiet, useful, and for Friends.
Member benefits apply to personal orders only, not to corporate gifting, custom work, or special projects.
You’re invited to join Friends of Ben’s Garden. This is our way of bringing together those who have long felt a connection to our work, the stories, and the spirit behind what we make—and of celebrating our community together.
It offers a more intimate relationship with the studio: early access to new designs, thoughtful gestures of thanks, and moments that bring our community closer together. It is for collectors, gift-givers, and kindred spirits who believe the objects we live with should be personal, meaningful, and made with care.
We fill homes with beautiful pleasures because we believe the slow, deliberate way is not nostalgia, it is a bold act. It is a chosen devotion. A way of celebrating meaning—and the path to a more beautiful life.
I would love for you to join the community.

Ninety-eight dollars a year. One payment, one price, no tiers and no upsells. It renews automatically on the same date each year, and you can stop the renewal whenever you like. Everything on this page is included from the day you join, and nothing is held back for a higher level, because there isn't one.
Reach us through our contact page or call 1-888-922-7646 and we will make sure your membership does not renew. There are no cancellation fees. Your benefits stay active for the rest of the year you have paid for, and every gift already sent to you is yours to keep.
Yes, and it makes a particularly good gift for the person who already has beautiful things. Reach us through our contact page with who it is for and when you would like it to start, and our Client Relations team will set it up. We have been making gifts by hand in New York since 1992.
No. Membership benefits apply to personal orders only, not to corporate gifting, custom work, bulk orders, or special projects, which are quoted separately. If you are looking at Ben's Garden for a company gift program or a custom commission, we would love to hear from you through our contact page.
With an active Friends of Ben’s Garden membership, we handle the gifting for you. Gifts are scheduled and shipped automatically, so there is no code to enter, box to tick, or item to add to your cart. You’re family now. If you move, just let our Client Relations team know so the next gift finds you.
It is automatic. Sign in with the email address on your membership and free ground shipping applies at checkout on every personal order, all year, with no minimum and no code. Expedited and international shipping are not included. If you ever see shipping charged on a personal order, tell us and we will fix it.
Friends see every new design before it is announced to anyone else: new collections, seasonal work and restocks open to members first. Early release samples go further. We send Friends unreleased designs before they go into production, while the work is still being decided.
Small batches made for Friends and offered nowhere else: not in our stores, not on bensgarden.com, not through wholesale. Usually the pieces we most wanted to make. When a batch is gone it is gone.
Yes. Friends are read into the journal at benbusko.substack.com, where Ben writes about what we are making and why, and the arguments we are willing to have in public. It is the least filtered thing Ben's Garden publishes.

This almost always means the account has not been activated yet. Look for the activation email sent when you joined, or reset your password from the login page. If neither works, reach our Client Relations team through the contact page or call 1-888-922-7646 and we will get you back in.
