Test Kitchens and Garden Tour

Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the People Inc. Content Studios, home of the Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchens and Test Garden.  For nearly 100 years, the Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen has developed the reliable recipes you trust at home. You'll tour the kitchens and meet the experts who perfect every one.

Then we'll step outside into the beautiful Better Homes & Gardens Test Garden. Located in the heart of downtown Des Moines, this garden serves as both a plant testing ground and the backdrop for many of the photos you see in magazines and online. It's here that we'll have a delicious lunch with food created from the Test Kitchens itself.

Join us for this rare opportunity to experience this Iowa icon up close and available exclusively for you through Iowa PBS.
