For great better home and gardening ideas, homemakers and gardeners should look into Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

Better Homes and Gardens shows you how to turn even the smallest bit of yard space into a beautiful, old fashioned English garden. The magazine offers tips on landscaping, planning a garden, arranging trees and shrubs, and laying paths. You’re not sure where you should put a pergola? Better Homes and Gardens can give you some great ideas. Are you thinking of starting a container garden? This is the magazine to go to for helpful information.
There is more than just the magazine. Better Homes and Gardens is online. For a great gardening experience without even leaving your home, go to Better Homes and Gardens’ online test garden.

You begin with the walkway to the garden, which is lined with ginkgo trees, then enter a small, shady plaza that leads to a pretty fountain. You pass through a shade garden that features hostus and other sun-loving plants, then go on to a beautiful dwarf conifer collection. At the southeast corner of the garden you find a lovely assortment of shrubs, perennials, trees and rock garden plants. Passing a tool shed disguised as a quaint cottage, you take a path that leads to some colourful barberry bushes. The site also provides you with a bird’s-eye view photograph of the entire garden.
