About the Author:
Nicole Johnsey Burke, founder of Rooted Garden, one of the leading US culinary landscape companies, and Gardenary Inc., an online kitchen gardening education and resource company, is on a crusade to bring back the kitchen garden, make gardening a profitable profession again, and basically save the planet one garden at a time. Born into a family of Southern gardeners, Nicole swore she’d only have a yard full of gravel when she grew up. But after two years of development work in rural China, Nicole saw things differently – she’d grown an appreciation for nature and a deeper connection to local and seasonal food. After learning through trial and error in her own family’s backyard garden, Nicole developed a system she could share with others leading to the creation of Rooted Garden in 2015, a business that designs, installs, and maintains kitchen gardens in Houston, TX. After the quick success of Rooted Garden, Nicole launched Gardenary Inc. in 2017 as a new tech company that’s taught 1000s of students how to garden and trained hundreds of gardeners to start their own garden coach businesses. In late 2019, Nicole launched the Gardenary platform: the ‘Uber’ of gardening and quickly followed by her breakthrough book, Kitchen Garden Revival, in the spring of 2020. Overall, Nicole hopes to make the garden an ordinary part of everyday life again, and she plans to train more than 10,000 gardeners as Garden Consultants and teachers to make that possible. “To create whole and happy lives, for the beauty in our homes, for the benefit of our community, and for the good of the world, it’s time for a kitchen garden revival,” says Nicole. “A revival is a magical thing. Perhaps this book will be that seed….but I’ll need you to bring the rain and the sunshine.”
