Like the wind, beauty is impossible to hold, but its power can be deeply felt — experience it within the pages of issue 22. Celebrating plant life, flowers, nature and the world around us with four striking covers — by Wolfgang Tillmans, Jack Davison, Chaumont-Zaerpour and Sophie McElligott — and the finest lineup of photographers, artists and writers.
Praised by Matthew McLean, Marc Camille Chaimowicz’s belief in beauty permeates every page of the magazine. This issue is an invitation to dream, smile and reflect, featuring Wolfgang Tillmans’s botanical studies and the allegorical faces of Ulan Baatar by Kerry J. Dean; Peter Lindbergh’s observations on nature and Jack Davison’s abstract explorations; Susan Clanciolo’s walking meditations and Jacqueline Sullivan’s devotion to objects; Nigel Shafran’s birdwatchers and Simone Gooch’s flower sculptures; Linda Goode Bryant’s rooftop gardens and Lena Emery’s endangered glaciers; Sophie McElligot’s mythological Lamia and the unbreakable knots of Ana Domínguez and Pablo de Pastors; Rosy Head’s voyage to the other side of the Moon and Chaumont-Zaerpour’s impressions of a windswept day in Paris.

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.
