September Almanac — The Hedgerow & Moor Monthly Box (Pre order - shipping starts from 26th August)

September marks the turning of the year. Summer begins to fade, the hedgerows fill with ripening berries, fungi appear after the first autumn rains, and the evenings begin to draw in. The September Hedgerow & Moor Almanac explores this beautiful point of transition through British folklore, plant lore, nature, seasonal traditions and original illustration.

Each monthly Almanac is created around what is happening in the landscape at that particular time of year. The September edition explores the Autumn Equinox, Michaelmas, blackberry folklore, fungi, British hedgerows, seasonal nature and traditional hedgerow recipes, alongside ideas for simple nature-inspired crafts.

It is a monthly nature and folklore subscription for anyone who loves the changing seasons, British countryside, botanical illustration, traditional customs and things made with care.

A small seasonal inclusion chosen to encourage a little quiet time as summer gives way to autumn — a simple ritual for slowing down, resting and preparing for the darker months ahead.

Why September is such a special month in the Almanac

September is a month of transition. The abundance of late summer remains in the hedgerows while the first unmistakable signs of autumn begin to appear.

Blackberries ripen, fungi emerge, seed heads replace summer flowers and migratory birds begin their journeys. The Autumn Equinox marks the point when day and night are approximately equal in length, while Michaelmas on 29 September has long been an important date in the traditional calendar.

The September Almanac brings these natural changes, seasonal customs and pieces of British folklore together in one monthly collection.

A monthly nature, folklore and seasonal living subscription

The Hedgerow & Moor Almanac is also available as a subscription and is made for people who want to pay closer attention to the natural year.

It is suitable for nature lovers, folklore enthusiasts, botanical illustration collectors, nature journal keepers and anyone fascinated by British hedgerows, seasonal traditions and the changing landscape.

Every month is different because the landscape is different. The plants, wildlife, folklore, recipes and seasonal traditions explored in September belong to September.
