Wholesale Issue 12 – Summer 2022

Issue 12 is packed with things to do, stories from nature and an unbounded enthusiasm for this wonderful planet we call home. If you're looking for expert gardening tips, you'll find a guide to ditching pricey compost in favour of the ancient practice of hugelkultur, pro hints on growing salvias, a brilliant piece on designing an immersive back garden (in even the smallest urban space) and a how-to on taking cuttings. There's also recipes for biodynamic plant remedies and advice on sowing a flowering lawn. We're also dishing up stories on crustaceans, growers making booze and gardeners who have inherited the land they garden on. There's top political nature books, gooseberry recipes, a 101 on natural dyes and a step-by-step on making string from nettles... Do not miss this! 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.
