Bloom exists to empower all people to find joy in nature for better wellbeing and a stronger planet. Bloom publishes a modern magazine, books and stationery for gardeners, plant admirers and outdoor explorers.

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.
