Pop-up garden shop Botany opens in South Bend's River Park neighborhood

When Ben Futa was in third grade, he wrote down what he wanted to be when he grew up.
“It said ‘one day I will open a garden center’ or ‘I will make my living selling plants,’” Futa said.
And now, he’s making good on his childhood aspiration.
Futa has opened Botany, a pop-up garden shop located in the dining room of Thyme of Grace restaurant in the River Park neighborhood. It’s not a place you would commonly expect a garden business, but restaurant owner Michele Lankford and Futa have known each other for at least 15 years so it was a natural fit. Plus, Lankford said, she simply sees it as an addition to what she already offers.
