Binette

Binette is a term that can refer to several things, primarily a small decorative garden, a type of broom, or a nickname.

In gardening, a binette is a small, ornamental plot of ground, often found in a formal garden setting. These small beds are typically used for planting flowers, herbs, or low-lying shrubs, and are designed to add visual interest and structure to a larger landscape. They can be simple squares or more intricate geometric shapes.

As a tool, a binette is a type of brush or broom, often made with natural bristles or twigs. These brooms are generally smaller and less robust than standard household brooms, and might be used for sweeping dust or small debris from specific areas, or in certain craft or cleaning applications.

The term "Binette" can also be used as a personal name or nickname. Its origin is typically French, and it is sometimes associated with the meaning "little bean" or a diminutive form of other names. As a nickname, it is often bestowed affectionately.
