Meredith to Revive House & Garden

The deal marks the return of the

House & Garden

brand, which stopped publication in 2007.

The 100-page spring/summer 2017 issue of

House & Garden

will be available on newsstands May 2. In keeping with the tradition of

House & Garden

magazine, the bookazine will feature inspiring rooms celebrating the authenticity and personality of the people who inhabit them, as well as bountiful gardens that satisfy the eye and the soul.

House & Garden

is being edited by Stephen Orr, editor-in-chief of Meredith’s

Better Homes & Gardens

, who served as garden editor at

House & Garden

for a decade earlier in his career.

"We are excited to reintroduce

House & Garden

in this unique format," says Orr. "One thing I always liked about

House & Garden

was just looking at its beautiful content. We will offer readers the opportunity to unplug and look at something presented in a more leisurely

House & Garden

will be elegant yet fun, upbeat, and not too serious. It will be full of the serenity that people often miss with digital media."

Meredith will handle all content creation, advertising sales, marketing, production and distribution for

House & Garden

, which will have an initial retail distribution of approximately 200,000 copies.
