“Beautiful View”

The name reflects what they do. After my order I barely could recognize my house and their work gave my home a different look. Had friends visiting and they all had this targeted.

“No longer the magazine it once was”

S S.
6/9/22

Just though I would treat myself (on a fixed income now) to the better homes and garden June issue 22magazine as the front cover looked so yummy with warm up winter dishes on the cover. So disappointed it's not the magazine it once. Won't be purchasing it again, mor advertising for high end products than, just a few recipes but nothing in it for the budget poor. Sorry you've lost me, it was a waste of money.

Tip for consumers:
Flip through the magazine before you purchase it, don’t get caught like I did , not worth it

The magazine is subpar at best- advertisements for over priced, low quality junk and a weird press piece for some pop star? I want HOME and GARDEN content, not some whiny, over-paid man-child talking about how hard the pandemic was for him. Spare me the sob story, show me more pictures of homes, give me in-season gardening tips, and more recipes. That's literally been the point of this magazine since the get go. And please, don't preach to me about being green when your cheap Walmart junk is all made by slave labor in China.

I love the house and garden parts of the show.
However I am very disappointed that it is becoming a tourism show! I don't want to watch the presenters touring Asia, and tonight we see Mandurah as well. I would like to see them bringing us all their new ideas, not touring where I've already been. If you want a travel show I would look elsewhere.

We used to look forward to BHG every week. But now, we are SO disappointed in the cast change. The wet dishcloth replacement of Hodgey, the inclusion of a high tech segment (who could afford it even, or who even cares), the addition of a smiling assassin garden presenter... why did you fix something that was not broken. You have lost me... and I was one of your greatest advocates. Youn have messed it up big time, through a "change for change' sake attitude. Bye!

So disappointed to see Harry Styles on the cover of what used to be a great home design magazine. How does knowing about his life help me at all in designing my home? He wasn't even pictured in his home.
Now you are just pushing the Woke agenda on subscribers who don't want to hear it. Who next... AOC? You've lost this subscriber. Wake up:. WOKE= BROKE

Group of ladies discussing recent shows are disappointed in the overseas travel segments. If we wish to watch travel we would watch Postcards or Travel Guides. Australian content is much more interesting and relevant.

I used to love bhg but now think you are out of touch with people that can afford to do your renovations or that can connect with your over the top celebrity house reviews. Your executive producers have misread the audience.

I love recipes and design magazines. Have been a loyal subscriber. But you put pedophile harry styles on the cover!?! Glamorize someone who represents a balenciaga parent company, Kering, wearing a teddy bear on their shirt posing with a toddler mattress!? I'm disgusted. I hope you lose all of your subscribers. Ps- you even have his upside down cross featured on your cover. Sickos.

I bought a excpreso coler dining table for my brother. His home burned down. So my sister bought him for Christmas excpreso chairs. So I wanted the table. Well 2.5 weeks later when it came it came in a broken box. N the color was not correct. So now after fighting n fighting with both amazon n Bhag I got nowhere. Now FedEx came n would not take it cause no slip. The company says I don't need it.

I just read a review of leaf blowers on the website and it might as well of been named " a list of 10 companies who paid us to feature their leaf blower". As a landscape professional the list is laughable and poor advice to readers. It doesn't even mention Stihl or Redmax but has a plethora of battery operated blowers that you couldn't use to blow a candle out.

Disappointing that this farm after 30 or so years is still using plastic containers to box & sell to Woolworths. Use something more enviro friendly for your packaging (please)

I have watched BH&G for years, no longer I am sick of the rubbish dished out now each Friday night.
As the name suggests this show should be about better homes and gardens, currently it seems it is a travel show, a cheap crafty ideas show, and a show about cooking. Dr Harry is the only segment worth watching and of course, Graham when he gets a chance to showcase a garden.
You've lost me CH9 I'm going to ch2 from hereon in on Friday nights.

Better Homes and Gardens has a very high quality standard. I buy their products when ever I can find them with their name attached. Their standards insure quality merchandise.

I was already noting that BHandG no longer met my expectations - but the picture of Harry Styles on the cover and article, confirmed my growing dissatisfaction. I would love to read about Harry in a more appropriate magazine/on-line.The pictures were not even taken at his home. Not impressed at all. Will not be renewing my subscription. MNS

They have an article and picture of Harry Styles on the cover of 100th Anniversary issue. The photos inside are not pretty. I guess they don't care any longer about the views of the majority of their readers. This is a magazine about decorating homes and gardens; not a place to push their woke agenda. I'm not hateful but traditional conservative and don't want this stuff coming into my home and especially something I have paid for. I've expected better of them. This magazine is no longer for me.

BH&G have lost their prime time Friday night tv spot. Maybe they should consider bringing back the good gardener, the bearable arts and crafts lady, and let the chippie do some useful stuff (like building decks and stud walls etc.)...or just cancel the show altogether.

We used to be avid viewers of BHG show. However two points that are so annoying.
Who decided pop, rap or funky music was ideal in between the presenters voice over.
Sorry... watching a show on home improvements, not a music show like "RAGE" on ABC.
Also the host presenter Joanne, please don't laugh like a Seal as its not healthy! It's annoying

The reason why I don't take this show seriously is because of the terrible irrelevant music played in the background which is a total distraction. ABC Gardening Australia is far superior with well informed presenters.

I received a notice that they would not deliver the next 6 months magazines due to lack of magazines, they then offered us 6 months free of the magazine by internet. We wanted the magazine so that we can take it with us when we are traveling. They did not offer a rebate. I bet the magazine will be on the magazine racks for sale in the stores.

Tip for consumers:
Its hard to judge when you can't get the magazine you paid for. The sent a notice in the mail telling me they could not deliver the magazines for the next 6 months and offered free magazine digital over the internet. We want the magazine not the digital version.

Purchased a bhg mirror and they put an advertisement sticker on the bottom half of the mirror. Spent 45 minutes trying to scrape the sticker off but the glue is there to stay making the mirror useless.

Look at this BHG cube organizer from only a few years ago compared to the garage they sell now. Constructed with PLASTIC DOWELS. How cheap can you get!
