From Our Hearts to Your Home
Crafted with Care, Guided by Purpose
Handcrafted Candles, Created with Heart and Purpose
At Begonia & Bench, we're not just another candle company- we're two people, doing it all ourselves, from crafting each candle to designing every detail of the experience. Our Candles are more than wax and wicks; they're a story of care and creativity, inspired by our love for art, nature, and connection.
What Makes Us Unique
Our Unique Wax Blend & Technique
Our process isn’t what you’d find in a traditional candle workshop. Instead of relying on molds or standard pouring techniques, we’ve developed our own hand-pouring methods that allow us to layer textures and control the cooling process for a perfect finish.
Giving Back, One Candle At a Time
Back in 2018, we set a goal to plant 200 trees in U.S. National Forests. Today, thanks to our small studio and your support, we’ve planted over 10,500 trees, helping to combat climate change, protect wildlife, and preserve the places we all love—one candle at a time.
We’re Just Two People Doing It All
We’re not a big company, and we don’t want to be. It’s just us—two people who believe in doing things differently. We’re here to make candles that are thoughtful, artistic, and meaningful. Because in a world of “more,” we believe in “better.”
1 Candle = 1 Tree
Our partnership with The National Forest Foundation is starting to take root. Since 2018, we've had over 12,000 trees planted to help fight climate change, conserve wildlife habitats and ensure healthy watersheds within our US National Forests.
Every candle made (not just sold!) helps plant a tree, making a difference for our environment and providing a greener future for generations to come. This mission is close to our hearts, and we’ll continue as long as this incredible program remains available to support.
The NFF is a proud 1% For the Planet Member
The National Forest Foundation (NFF) was chartered by Congress to work with communities and the U.S. Forest Service.
The National Forest Foundation is leading natural solutions to climate change through large-scale reforestation on public lands.
