Elevate
your backyard veggie patch into a work of sophisticated and stylish art.
Kitchen Garden Revival guides you through every aspect of kitchen gardening,
from design to harvesting—with expert advice from author Nicole Johnsey Burke,
founder of Rooted Garden, one of the leading US culinary landscape companies,
and Gardenary, an online kitchen gardening education and resource company.
Participating in the
grow-your-own movement is important to both reduce your food miles and control
what makes it onto your family’s table. If you’ve hesitated to take part
because installing and caring for a traditional vegetable garden doesn’t seem
to suit your life or your sense of style, Kitchen Garden Revival is here to
show you there’s a better, more beautiful way to grow food.
Instead of row after row of
cabbage and pepper plants plunked into a patch of dirt in the middle of the
yard, kitchen gardens are attractive, highly tailored food gardens consisting
of easy-to-maintain raised planting beds laid out in an organized geometric
pattern. Offering both four seasons of ornamental interest and plenty of fresh,
homegrown fruits, vegetables, and herbs, kitchen gardens are the way to grow
your own food in a fashionable, modern, and practical way.
Kitchen gardens were once
popular features of the European and early American landscape, but they fell
out of favor when our agrarian roots were displaced by industrialization. With
this accessible and inspirational guide, Nicole aims to return the kitchen
garden to its rightful place just outside of every backdoor.
