Besides providing botanical contents in a simple, personal and cozy way, The Plant offers to plant lovers a new look on greenery by featuring the work of creative people who also love plants. It brings together photographers, illustrators, designers, musicians, writers and visual artists, both established and emerging, from all over the world, to share with The Plant their perceptions and experiences around plants.

Issue 19—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 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.
