Legendary publishers in the New South.

Garden & Gun has fine footing and support in the South. Launched in early 2007, the magazine is backed by the privately held Evening Post Publishing Co., the same publishers of the "South's Oldest Daily Newspaper," the Charleston, S.C. The Post and Courier. Pierre Manigault, a third generation leader of the Evening Post Publishing Co., has worked closely on the development of Garden & Gun.

The Evening Post Publishing Co. recently established a ventures corporation to develop new business opportunities including real estate, new media services and consumer publications. The consumer publications division includes Garden & Gun, along with a new books unit. Charleston-based Evening Post Publishing Co. owns 23 media outlets, including newspapers in South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas, as well as television stations in California, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana and Texas. Internationally, the company owns the English-language daily newspaper in Buenos Aries, Argentina, and Solo Syndicate, Ltd. in London, England.

Garden & Gun is led by an eclectic group of individuals with a unique combination of publishing excellence, creative imagination, and a passion for the Southern lifestyle. Their talents, experience and deep connections to literary, artistic and sporting pursuits are at the heart of a magazine that truly embodies 21st Century Southern America.
