This month we celebrate all mums

The latest from NZ House & Garden magazine. [padding] [If you are unable to view this message correctly, click here]( [padding] [padding] [spacer] [Stuff Logo]( [spacer] [spacer] [padding] [stuff header]( [spacer] [padding] Hi {NAME}, With our May issue, on sale today, we celebrate mums everywhere. We’ve loaded the magazine with gift recommendations: check out our Beauty, Shopping and Style Edit pages along with the News section for all the latest products. Our food editor Julie Le Clerc has created some exceptional baking recipes and, although we don’t expect mums to do the baking, they do provide the perfect way to say thank you to the important women in your life. Personal favourites are the Lemon Meringue Cake and the Plum Galette. As the season changes it’s time to start planning for winter and specifically how to keep your home warm. A cold house never feels welcoming and chilliness certainly diminishes the desire to spend time there. Deputy editor Sharon Newey compiled our Heating Special Feature, loading it with options and suggestions on how to keep you toasty, along with winter styling ideas. This issue has a great mix of house styles, from the grand Christchurch manor that reflects the creativity and dedicated vision of its owners, the enchanting art decor darling in Napier, through to the 1940s Taranaki bungalow renovated by its designer owner. I love both the Paeroa garden inspired by an opera, as well as the Tarras garden that is at one with the Central Otago landscape. Finally, consider giving the gift that keeps on giving – a one-year subscription to NZ House & Garden for the special price of $89, thereby guaranteeing mum receives a copy of her favourite magazine in her letterbox every month.

The house has had a top-to-bottom (and sides) kind of renovation, and now has a magical garden too.
