In 2026, gardening will be an art form that goes way beyond lawns and flower beds. Welcome to the Plant Bento Revolution – "a completely new way of assembling your garden, just like your own mini masterpiece in the UK." "Just like assembling your meal in a clever bento box, you can use plants to build your own micro-masterpiece in your outdoor space with plants such as plants for topiary, plants for your Italian garden. Everything Plants has all your hedging, topiary, and ornamental plants to name just a few to bring your vision to life.
Designing Your Garden in Bento Boxes
The main concept of a Plant Bento garden is compartmentalization. These areas can be used for different purposes: a Pollinator Garden, Sensory Garden, Scent Garden Herb area, and even a fruit-bearing area for some fruit-bearing trees. For instance, the use of hedges will act as a structuring and privacy-giving boundary, and the use of beautiful grasses will soften the edges.
The inclusion of topiary designs, like spirals or cones, for example, lends elegance to the garden while replicating the artistry that exists in Japanese gardens. They can also be used to create a focus point in the garden compartments.
Highlighting Italian Plants and Exotic Varieties
The plants used include Olive Trees, European Fan Palms, and Pom Pom Olives. As Everything Plants, we give you the chance to enjoy specimen trees that hold the capability to bring your bento garden together with a Mediterranean twist.
Pair these plants with dwarf shrubs and flowering borders to add layers of interest. By mixing shape, size, and texture, you will create an immersive garden rather than a plant garden.
Using Shrubs and Grasses for Structure
Shrubs and grass are crucial in creating compartments within your Plant Bento garden. Box or Buxus shrubs can border paths, while grasses such as Miscanthus or Festuca are responsible for softening. Other shrubs such as the Photinia Red Robin or Berberis are great at creating color contrast. Combining the above with the use of specimen trees makes your garden look dynamic.
Creating Harmony Through Design
The concept of Plant Bento promotes balance, symmetry, and variety. By thoughtfully placing plants from Everything Plants, for example, cherry laurels as a means of providing privacy in the garden, olives for their elegant appearance, as well as topiary art in terms of twisted topiary plants, it is possible to create an interest-oriented garden.
