Reviews

“One of the other things I really loved about Kitchen Garden Revival is Nicole’s new takes on established garden ideas.”
*The Kitchen Garten*

“Whether the reader is a novice or experienced gardener, Kitchen Garden Revival offers information that is practical and helpful. Eric Kelley’s 230 color photos add clarity and beauty to the written word.”
*OregonLive.com*

“Burke’s book is filled with witty, easily-read information. The facts are intermixed with humorous stories of her mistakes while attaining her self-taught expertise.”
*Triangle Garden*

Not only will you learn about what crops to grow and when, but the book also guides readers through the process of building a garden and its benefits.
