Beware of their deceptive subscription offers. Once you sign up it's very difficult to cancel. They are rip off

The magazine used to feature "true" designers with talent. The ones in the May 2024 are horrible! It's like looking back at great grandma's house where she just put what she could afford or had collected over the years. Nothing matched. She sewed skirts where cabinet doors were missing! And that poor child having to wake up to that horrific wallpaper everyday! She's 4 yrs old! Give her a room that looks like a 4 yr old little girl. Please don't call people designers when they clearly are not. Bring better talent to your magazine or you'll soon lose me as a subscriber.

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.

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.

Shadow of itself.
July 1, 2022

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.

Tv program changes.
July 20, 2023

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.

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

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.

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.

Current content
March 1, 2024

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.

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

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.

Not as good as it was
October 14, 2023

I have been subscribing to BHG for at least 30 years. I have seen makeover after makeover, but what it has become now is unrecognizable. It's not basic homes and gardens; it's expensive makeovers that people can't afford. It used to be full of useful tips, but not now. Will not be renewing subscription this time around.

Pedophile pusher
December 21, 2022

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.

Rubbish
February 16, 2024

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.

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)

Please Stop the Music
September 24, 2021

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

A shell of its past! This magazine used to be so inspiring. Now, it caters to the very wealthy and is disconnected from the majority of people. Goodbye BHG!
