In issue 8, there’s a complete guide to growing show-stopping dahlias, pro advice on how to tempt birds to hang out in the garden and a deep dive into the world of mushrooms. We also meet a bunch of flower farmers for the inside scoop on growing British blooms and find out why our right to roam is more important than ever.

Plus there's stories about houseplants, botanical embroidery, botanic gardens, good books and lots of things to do, grow and cook throughout the season…

Beautiful and hardworking, Bloom is for anyone with a passion for nature: so dig in, whether you have a garden, a balcony or a windowsill.
