Issue 13 magazine – Autumn 2022 by Bloom

Issue 13 is packed with things to do, stories from nature and an unbounded enthusiasm for this wonderful planet we call home. For all those hands-on gardeners, we have an expertly chosen list of plants for a colourful autumn/winter garden selected by some incredible pros – the best trees, grasses, perennials and more. There's a guide to planting bulbs in pots for a spring display and a 'how to' on creating no-dig beds for your veg. We've got a round-up of the best radishes and a love letter to crab apple trees. We've also packed in some great stories, including a truly lovely piece on the pioneers of eco-poetry – this is anything but Wordsworth! The legendary preserve maker Pam the Jam shares her recipes for a seasonal glut that will blow a standard jar of marmalade out of the cupboard. Plus we've snuck in a nature-themed crossword, a selection of the year's best books, a gorgeous practical story on dyeing dried flowers and an interview with the Lost Words illustrator Jackie Morris.
