This special edition is part of the In Your Backyard series of annual publications aimed at a younger target market than the parent title (NZ Life & Leisure). It is a bookazine offering guidance on how to live more lightly on the planet via practical steps on many aspects of life from recycling to growing food, healthy seasonal recipes, tiny living, how-to DYI projects and livestock management, such as raising poultry and beekeeping.

It is a publication with a modern, clean, fresh, vibrant feel, and while it is practical, it is also inspirational and uplifting. The design of strong chapter openers, a calm colour palate and clarity of navigation help communicate the various themes.
