Kitchen Garden Revival is a new tutorial and resource guide for gardeners written by Nicole Johnsey Burke. Due out 21st April 2020 from Quarto on their Cool Springs imprint, it's 208 pages and available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is a multi-resource guide with general chapters for planning, creating, and succeeding at making an edible garden: siting, building, gathering materials, soil building, tending, planting, and harvesting. Each of the chapters include multiple mini-tutorials for garden tasks and supplies. The tools and necessary ingredients are pictured and explained. All of them include step by step instructions in clear and accessible language.
The writing is upbeat and accessible. This would make a super resource for a community garden lending library, school library, or gardener's home library. Many of the tutorials would be appealing and appropriate for children with a teacher/facilitator. Everything is so vibrant and beautiful. It made my fingers itch to get digging, really.
Four stars. Well written and informative.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
