The Plant issue 5
Delivered to Stack subscribers in
Nov 2013
A beautiful, poetic and disarmingly strange magazine about plants, flowers and trees, The Plant magazine couldn’t position itself further away from the likes of Gardener’s World. Its fantastic photography and personal accounts of plant life mixes botany with art to create a fascinating and totally original view of the green stuff in our lives.
