Better Homes & Gardens September 1941
This could potentially attract a broader duel-gender audience, without alienating it’s core reader. Over all, this gardening issue is a big improvement over last-year’s version of the magazine. It is well curated, I actually could read the content, and it is beautifully photographed. Sure, but there is different between “nice and stylish’ and dated. Best part of all, it has gardening features on REAL gardening topics – – like a story on Baptisia selections (I know, right? Baptisia selections in Better Homes and Gardens? Who’d a thunk?). Now, maybe my gender antenna are sensitive lately since I’ve been secretly (or not-so-secretly after last months press announcements at International Toy Fair) working on a huge duel-gender project at work,but I ‘feel it’ here in the magazine, as well.
The tomato article is spectacular, with both tomato cultural information and original recipes. I really can’t imagine how any lifestyle magazine can survive today in a world were ideas are shared instantly, but this story is an excellent example of how a magazine can, and does, deliver content in a high-value way. It’s not just a story on heirloom tomatoes arranged in a bowl.The food photography is bright and visually relevant as I am getting a little sick of the dark moody shots that look as if they were shot on the floor of a gas station in a third world country.
Better Homes & Gardens July 1994
I would say that it's on the same level as the current Martha Stewart Living as far as content goes, but no nearly as horticulturally interesting as The Garden, or any other RHS publication for that matter. It's just a nice value read with some decent content which is far better than the original Better Homes and Gardens. I should push the bar for other main stream magazines however , but it is still just a brief article.
Someone else bought the name and it is nothing like it used to be. No advertising, book-heavy paper, advice from insiders, and lots of PLANTS. Look – a man, in Better Homes and Gardens!
Better Homes & Gardens September 1942
I love great design, but micrograms and foamy soup shot on rusty, greasy metal with denim just isn’t that appetizing. So aside from the fear of one getting lockjaw, I usually don’t find the idea of getting depressed when reading stories about holiday spreads. That said, I don’t want the old bright, sterile and cheerful studio lighting (ala-Kraft 1995 either). This issue offers a nice middle ground style, perfect for mass market, and probably for the brand. Estimated delivery dates - opens in a new window or tab include seller's handling time, origin ZIP Code, destination ZIP Code and time of acceptance and will depend on shipping service selected and receipt of cleared payment.
I really miss Organic Gardening magazine. Sure, the rebranded Organic Life is nice, but not gardening focused. Back to those inner pages (I know, paper stock again!) they are thinner than Martha Stewart Living, but not quite at that cheap-toilet-paper-from-the-New-Jersey-Turnpike-sort-of-way.
Turn your porch into a space that will tempt you to stay outdoors until the first snowflakes start falling again. Forget the dark, heavy look of hunting lodges and dens. Leather is lightening up and embracing its cheerful side by merging the material's time-tested durability with just-right-for-spring color. That article with the vertical potted wall showcases one of my favorite garden blog's creators. The Horticult is awesome, and their backyard oasis is so cool. Will usually ship within 1 business day of receiving cleared payment.
I was sent a complementary copy of the newly rebranded Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Maybe it’s because it’s the gardening issue, but I have to admit that I like it. Also, look at the new BH&G through the lens of the core consumer.
Sure, it’s a story on pesto, but nice enough not to be boring, which means that I took the time to read it. Delivery time is estimated using our proprietary method which is based on the buyer's proximity to the item location, the shipping service selected, the seller's shipping history, and other factors. So approached from that perspective, the two may be able to exist if the content can remain on-brand for each, without cannibalizing each other.
True, but even I need to remind myself that there are always beginners, and they need to start somewhere. Once they have discovered gardening, they tend to move on to more complex sources for content. So, although targeting beginner or casual gardeners, at least it's making an effort to move up to the bar, rather then mindlessly staying behind.
Nuggets of turquoise might inspire an accent color, an antique watering can leads to the perfect metal finish, and wispy greenery keeps it all fresh. But we're in the mood for something bold. These oversize botanical wallpapers do the trick. Watch one bring your home to life. You have to check out the "new" (well, year and a half old?) quarterly Garden Design magazine.
And if, like me, you've paged through and remember past issues, you'll find very little new content in the special publications. On your recommendation, though, I'd be willing to check the magazine racks for this new issue. I used to be a member of RHS so I could receive "The Garden". It was good for having a different take on things than that shared by all the US publications.
