Ben's Garden Whitehall Brooklyn (By appointment). The Ben’s Garden Whitehall studio is a 14,000-square-foot light-filled space in
Brooklyn's Innovative Industry City overlooking the Statue of Liberty, and what will be NYC's largest river-front park green space. Recently the redeveloped, the 100-acres, is literally city within the City. Ben Busko discovered
Industry City, just as
Jamestown, L.P. (lead by Michael Phillips, the main mastermind behind NYC's Chelsea Market) began repurposing the buildings for creatives and an artist’s guild, to become a premier manufacturing and creative innovation hub. Busko and his
talented team of artisans execute his countless inspired designs. All at neatly organized workstations stocked with supplies, they assemble his
celebrated decoupage glass trays, photo frames and paperweights, among other products. All Ben's Garden and Ben’s Papers
well-known goods are manufactured in the Ben’s Garden Brooklyn Whitehall Studio, by hand. You will see many young-folk, with skateboards, beanies caps, wearing extra large headphones. And they you'll easily identify, if you do so, spot Ben. Always dressed in proper dress clothes with tie and tie clip- and just in case, a proper English umbrella for in-climate weather. He sticks out like an exclamation point amongst the hipsters, yet no one actually knows how envious Ben is, and one day will make sure he uses a skateboard. The amazing, cobble stone streets- deter him immediately from thinking a skateboard would be comfortable, but all in good time.
