Julia Watkins, Author of Simply Living Well

“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.”
