Jon,

 
Great point on me not blogging since December so let me re-start my blogging.
 
The Lawn & Garden (L&G) team just came back from overseas working on 2009 product (Patio sets, firepits, fountains, pottery, outdoor décor, folding furniture, & grills). There will be a lot of new product for 2009 so stay tuned.
 
Enough about 2009 I wanted to share with you some of the merchandise that is available in stores now. Check out our Lawn & Garden 2008 Outdoor Catalog that features Better Homes and Garden merchandise. It will be available online in the near future.
 
The 2008 L&G catalog highlights several categories that can enhance your time in your backyard focusing on patio sets and grills and all the accessories to compliment them. Several of our Key Patio sets are by Better Homes and Garden. This year if you purchase a Better Homes & Garden patio set we offer a 1 year free subscription to their magazine. A few new items this year are our outdoor rugs 5x8 that match back to the patio see page 14 or an Umbrella light see page 22. For those grilling on the go check out our table top grills on page 35. Flip through the pages and dare to imagine what your backyard could be at such affordable prices!!! A wider selection of product is available at Wal-Mart.com and with our site to store option many sets can be shipped to your Wal-Mart.
 
My personal favorite Patio Set is the Bali Island Collection with the Anisette Outdoor Rug. The surprise item of the season for me is the 36" tall Lion Statue - see page 25.
 
I am ready for some warm weather so I can start enjoying some more time outside with the family.

***UPDATE - YOU CAN FIND THE 2008 CATALOG HERE

I have to say it is so nice to be able to find so many matching accessories-the fact that the sets match the rugs , to the matching accessories.  I love the founatin on page 6.  And the prices, better then I have found anywhere else.  Having Better Homes and Gardens behind you can't hurt either!

Very stylish outdoor furniture selection!  For those of us here in Hawaii who do a lot of year-around outdoor living,  I hope a large percentage of the online L&G catalog will make it into our local Wal-Mart stores!  The individual item shipping costs to Hawaii are quite high and unfortunately, Site-to-Store is not available to Hawaii customers of Wal-Mart.  It would be great to have this range of choice!

great looking catalog - how is it distributed and how is it targeted to the right consumer?

The MTD products Wal-Mart sells are a piece of junk and dont last past the warrenty.I have purchased a MTD tiller and Yard Machine mower and both didnt last once the warranty ran out.Wal-Mart needs to do something about this. Or maybe Wal-Mart lie MTD doesn't care either.

Marvin, great looking products.  Real value and style!  Would love to see more landscape lighting that enhances evening outdoor living.

Where is the Mika Ridge Umbrella?!  I bought 2 of those patio sets and now the umbrella can't be found anywhere, and although it is featured on the Walmart website, it is "not available online."  The patio table appears to be custom designed to accept only the Mika Ridge umbrella, so substituting another product won't suffice.  Been looking for a year now, but no luck.  Can you help??

I also bought 3 of the patio sets made by Better Homes and Garden Mika Ridge and I have been looking for the umbrella for over a year since they still are selling the set why not the umbrella? We also had a wind that lifted one of the glasses out of the table and no one could help us in replacing it we went to a glass company and had to pay 170.00 for one piece I could have almost brought the whole set, if they are going to sell they should a site where you can order replacement items!!!!!

     I am disappointed in the quality of "Better Homes and Gardens" gardening tools.  They are cheap and don't last. 

I bought the watering wand, first the "on/off" is in black print in the black handle on the wand, so I didn't even see that.  Went and purchased an inline valve so I could turn the water on and off, then saw the fine print.  In the meantime the clicking that allows you to change the settings broke so the end of the wand

would move if I touched it on something, and that would change the setting.  You can imagine what "jet" does when you are watering your plants!  OK, so I adjust how I use the product, and am finally able to water with the darn thing, then

the cheap plastic threads that hold the wand to the upper part that attaches to the hose just literally disintegrate, so now its in the trash.  Didn't get me thru one summer, which is my general experience with "better Homes and Gardens" brand.

Not going to buy any more gardening stuff from Walmart.  As usual, you get what you pay for.

I am trying to locate the Better Homes & Gardens Bali Island 5 piece Dining Set and Swivel Rockers and Table Set.  They show that they are available on the Wal-Mart web site, but every zip code that I have tried tells me that it is not within a 100 mile radius.  How do I find out where these items are and is it possible to have them sent to the nearest local store?  These items are for my parents who lost their home in a tornado last year.  They are back in a new home and bought a few items in this collection, but not everything that they needed.  Thanks for the help!

I am trying to find the replacement glass inserts for the 5 piece dining set. So far the only things I can find tell me my worst fears. Go to a glass company and pay hundreds of dollars for replacements.

I was disappointed to see that your team "just came back from overseas" to plan the 2009 line. I would like to buy more products that are Made in America. I hope that for 2010 you will give some American product lines a chance at WalMart. Thank you!
