“The garden is one of my favorite parts of home… it grounds me and makes me feel free. Nicole’s new book, Leaves, Roots and Fruit, is the perfect companion to my garden walks giving me new insights and a fresh perspective on the plants I love so much. Her book simplifies the process of learning to garden in an easy to use format and the photos are gorgeous. Highly recommend!”

Nicole Burke has done it again. With her sunny disposition and seemingly limitless energy and enthusiasm, Nicole has demystified the process of basic backyard, small scale gardening for food or flowers into a simple and easy to follow step system. If you have not yet become a gardener but think you might want to, or you have not yet “mastered” gardening in your earliest attempts and want to - Nicole’s got you covered. In her newest “Leaves, Roots & Fruit, A Step-By-Step Guide to Planting an Organic Kitchen Garden” she will take you by the hand, and walk you through the steps in word and image, physically and intellectually, to beautifully and deliciously grow you into the kitchen gardener you want to be!

Should be required reading before any tomato plants are sold to anyone anywhere. Nicole taught me this concept years ago and I've never forgotten it.

Leaves, Roots and Fruit is the perfect book to help you add the habit of gardening into your everyday life-even if you've never thought to call yourself a 'gardener.'
