Complete, Detailed, and Straightforward Guide to Planting a Garden

“Instead of talking about the many social, emotional, and environmental problems of our time, Kitchen Garden Revival offers a simple, practical way to do our part in mitigating stress, anxiety, depression, food waste, plastic pollution, and climate change—all by starting your very own kitchen garden. Since starting my own kitchen garden, I’ve had hundreds of people ask me for resources for starting their own gardens, and I’m excited to finally have an answer for them. The Kitchen Garden Revival is a complete, detailed, and straightforward guide to planning, installing, tending, and harvesting an aesthetically-pleasing and productive garden and, best of all, it’s accessible to everyone, including the person who has never grown a seed, knows nothing about soil, and can’t imagine what to plant where and when. I think what I like best, is that Nicole doesn’t mince words—she’s straightforward and to the point, and offers a truly can-do approach to realizing the kitchen garden of your dreams.” 

-Julia Watkins, author of Simply Living Well

Container-Gardening Book for Home Chefs

“Nicole Burke's Kitchen Garden Revival is certain to inspire home cooks and professional chefs alike. I was first introduced to "container gardening" by my best friend and mentor P. Allen Smith. As a chef, container gardening and raised beds have found their place in my kitchen gardens at my historic home and my restaurant. This book will not only create a revival of kitchen gardens, but there will be a whole lot of Hallelujahs and Amens when you’re done!” 

-Regina Charboneau, chef, restauranteur, cookbook author 

Makes Gardening Approachable and Enjoyable!

"Kitchen Garden Revival is just the book I've been looking for! A fun read that makes gardening approachable, accessible, and enjoyable—without overcomplicating it. With a clean layout, loads of beautiful pictures, and a relatable voice, Nicole Burke will inspire anyone interested in gardening to get outside and get their hands dirty, reminding us all that growing food is something we should be celebrating together." 

-Timothy Pakron, author of Mississippi Vegan Cookbook
