Does any flower say summer quite as loudly and proudly as the sunflower? With the climate warming, more and more farmers are growing this glorious plant – sometimes as a crop to be harvested for bird food or vegetable oil – but increasingly as a ‘pick your own’ flower and often as a backdrop for social media selfies. Either way, we love a good sunflower and are recommending 21 great sunflower farms to visit this season (there’s bound to be one near you!).

Next up, and into the kitchen, chef-extraordinaire Miranda Gore Browne has some delicious lamb recipes for you to try at home and some scrumptious blackberry swirl meringues, too.

Elsewhere and into the garden, Nicola Stocken is recommending 17 plants and techniques to climate-proof your garden: from permeable paving and living walls to the best plants for pollinators.

Finally, if you love horses (or know someone who does), we’ve got a special equine focus in this edition, including an indispensable five-page events guide.
