Better Homes and Gardens focuses on home, cooking, gardening, crafts, healthy living, decorating, and entertainment interests. Dotdash Meredith publishes the magazine 12 times per year. Edwin Meredith, who had previously served as the United States Secretary of Agriculture under Woodrow Wilson, founded it in 1922. From 1922 to 1924, the company was known as Fruit, Garden, and Home.

Are Media, the successor to the former Bauer Media Australia, which acquired Pacific Magazines in 2020, publishes the magazine in Australia. Under the Better Homes and Gardens brand, the Meredith Corporation publishes several books on home economics and gardening, the most well-known of which is the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, colloquially known as the “Red Plaid” book. The Red Plaid was first published in 1930 and is now in its 15th edition (published in August 2010). Meredith also publishes the New Junior Cookbook, which is aimed at children who are learning to cook. In the fall of 2007, Meredith’s broadcasting division launched the lifestyle show Better, which features content from Meredith’s various magazine titles (including BH&G), consumer advice, and celebrity interviews. The show would be broadcast on Meredith, Scripps, Fisher, and LIN TV stations. Better is produced locally by some Meredith-owned stations. In May 2015, the show was canceled. Through a partnership with Home Interiors and Gifts, a direct-selling company, the brand offered a line of home decor products. Better Homes and Gardens has been mentioned in the media several times.
