"Home & Garden" is not only the place that people live in, work in, remodel, clean, and enjoy, but it is also a category of information in books, magazines, and on the Internet that helps people to learn more about caring for their homes and gardens. Many tools and products are sold under the home & garden moniker, and entire media empires have been built around maintaining lawns, roofs, bedrooms, and kitchens--Martha Stewart being a prime example.

Around the inside of the home, many homeowners are in search of ways to clean laundry, carpeting, showers, dishwashers, curtains, bedding, refrigerators, countertops, lampshades, and pretty much anything that can collect dust or be abused by family members and pets. Repairs often need to be done on ceiling fans, light fixtures, plumbing, walls, appliances, and more. And even the most well-maintained rooms occasionally need a spruce up with new paint, carpeting, furniture, and home decor. To accomplish all of these tasks, homeowners often hire professionals to complete the job correctly and efficiently (for a price). Many books are available and articles are online for people who would like the "do it yourself" (DIY) approach to home care.

Outdoors, the same principles apply to repairing roofs, mowing the lawn, planting a vegetable garden, getting rid of slugs, setting up a swingset, pruning trees, and caring for roses. Lots of free advice is available online, and several tools and products are available commercially to make the jobs easier. New innovations emerge all the time, with some of the latest trends including the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter, Worx silent lawn mower, metal home roofs, and Miracle Gro fertilizers and soils.
