One gardening concept has caught my attention in particular over the last month: bento garden design.
It’s been floating around as a potential 2026 garden trend in recent weeks, so I thought I’d take a closer look at the principles and how it can be implemented in our own gardens. As it turns out, the approach is actually a really brilliant small garden idea – it’s essentially the art of creating a garden bento box, each zone with a distinct purpose, and it can be applied to planting, landscaping and furniture.
