Twining from botanical roots through the fields of photography, art, fashion, food, ecology and horticulture, The Plant is a fresh view onto the growing world. A celebration of magnificent, modest, exotic and everyday plants, and the creative enterprises they inspire.
The Plant first blossomed as a biannual magazine in 2011, announcing itself as ‘a curious observer of ordinary plants and other greenery.’ Since that first issue, the magazine has commissioned special artist projects, photography portfolios, creative writing and reportage from established and emerging talents around the world. Offering beauty, scent, shade and sweetness, shelter, nourishment and warmth, The Plant is magazine as pleasure garden, promising something unexpected at every turn.
Issue 19 comes with four different covers: a daydream-like scene from ‘Flower Pot’ by Annie Collinge and Rottingdean Bazaar; an insight into the power of nature for future generations by Kerry J. Dean; an invitation by Flaminia Veronesi into her fantastical ‘Giardinio Immaginifico’; and Sara Blomqvist wearing BLESS, the free-spirited 1990s fashion project.
In this issue, Peter Jordanov teams up with Virginie Benarroch to celebrate the beauty of the rain. Brigitte Lacombe and Matthew McLean follow Precious Okoyomon on a walk through Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Maureen Paley shares her love for the moon. Tom Johnson travels to Patagonia to discover the Chubut Valley. And Drew Vickers photographs blooms in their boldest, most striking form.
Other features include a poetic glimpse of Coco Chanel’s favourite flower through the lens of Marcelo Gomes, a look at Diana Kennedy’s botanical and culinary exploration of Mexico, as well as the magazine’s regular section, Loose Leaves, with stories about Cy Twombly’s time in Morocco, Elein Fleiss, Sabine Mirlesse, Formafantasma and more.

Issue 17th comes with three bright covers evoking the pleasures of living outdoors: ‘Full bloom moon’, a painting by artist Jenna Gribbon; a peony from ‘Song to Dust’, a story shot in Mexico by Peter Jordanov; and a scene from ‘Come to Life’, an editorial by Clara Balzary inspired by the Black Mountain School.
We visit Lucie and Luke Meier, creative directors of Jil Sander in Zermatt, photographed by Olivier Kervern. We venture into the Bulgarian Rose Valley with Kerry Dean and Lilia Toncheva, and we traverse the Jordanian desert with photographer Tom Johnson. We explore Chillida’s work at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, in a conversation with landscape gardener Piet Oudolf, while bread activist Lexie Smiths reflects with artist Dan Colen about her plot for the Future Food Garden in Sky High Farm.
Find also photographer Thomas Lohr flower diary; Topiary Dreams with Agnes Vita; Ana Dominguez’s Autumnal Herbarium; and Laroche Pottery clays and sculptures captured by Marton Perlaki. For more exciting stories, our regular Loose Leaves section.

Issue 16 comes out with three beautiful covers: ‘Moon’, a painting by Ruth Asawa from 1958; Tulips, from a photo-essay by Jack Davison; and Ylang Messenguiral in Wright Le Chapelain, captured by Peter Jordanov.
You will also find titillating flowers by Harley Weir, and a collaborative homage to Mount Fuji, with images by Nobuyoshi Araki, Wolfgang Tillmans, Brigitte Lacombe and Chris Rhodes, among others. We fly kites in the South of France with Danielle Bouquet and get our Seasonal Harvest with Clarisse Demory, Matthieu Lavanchy and Sarah de Mavaleix.
Artist Cassi Namoda recalls rural Mozambique, while Hettie Judah digs into Ruth Asawa’s love for growing. Clara Balzary portraits Californian farm workers, and we meet Alice Waters and Fanny Singer in their Berkeley garden. Laura Hawkins shares her correspondence with Wright Le Chapelain, and we explore our primal bonds with nature through Isabella Killoran offerings. Nomka Enkhee brings some colour and fun to the issue, which ends, as usual, with our Loose Leaves section.
