Bloom is an independent publisher for gardeners, plant admirers, nature lovers and outdoor adventurers. Alongside books and stationery, we publish a seasonal print magazine that looks beautiful and it works hard; it makes you muse on the handsomeness of nature and it inspires you to get out there and be a part of it. Published in spring, summer and autumn, each issue of Bloom magazine brings together expert gardening advice and creative explorations of the natural world, and celebrates all green spaces, from wilderness to windowsills.
