"A few things will happen before you finish this book....
If you don't already, you'll start calling yourself a 'gardener.' It might seem awkward at first, (I've been there) but go ahead, take a moment, look in the mirror and say these words out loud:
I am a gardener.
From now on, when you introduce yourself to others, type out your bio or profile, you'll include 'gardener' in your list of attributes.
Deal?"

"Kitchen gardens, though we may have forgotten the term, aren't a new concept. They've been a thing for thousands of years.
But somewhere along our way of progress, we lost the kitchen garden. With the input of technology and industry, our food systems have changed dramatically over the last century. And while not all the change has been bad, the kitchen garden is something that should've stayed."

Nicole Burke-the Author
Nicole Johnsey Burke is the founder of Rooted Garden, one of the leading culinary landscape companies in the US. They’ve worked with clients to design and build hundreds of kitchen gardens and provide the knowledge and resources their clients need to grow their own beautiful and delicious kitchen garden. Based in both Houston, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois, Nicole conducts dozens of personal on-site workshops each year to share her knowledge of kitchen gardening. She’s also the force behind the website Gardenary, an online kitchen garden education and resource company that makes learning how to kitchen garden easy through digital courses and online garden coaching. Nicole’s mission is to see every family growing some of their own food and for kitchen gardens to become an ordinary part of everyday life once again.
Instead of talking about the many social, emotional, and environmental problems of our time, The Kitchen 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 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.
