When Ben Futa was in third grade, he wrote down what he wanted to be when he grew up.
âIt said âone day I will open a garden centerâ or âI will make my living selling plants,ââ Futa said.
And now, heâs 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.
