“The 5-Minute Gardener is the solution for anyone who dreams of cultivating a beautiful garden but feels short on time. As a busy entrepreneur and mom of three, time is not on my side, but I’ve had the opportunity to implement Nicole’s advice in my own garden and watch it transform. With practical tips and easy-to-follow guidance, this book proves that you can nurture a thriving garden in just a few minutes a day.”
— Shea McGee, co-founder and CCO of Studio McGee and McGee & Co.
“Starting a garden has been a dream come true for me and my family. Somewhere between growing my business and raising my girls, I added growing a tomato to my dream list—and finally checked it off! Nicole’s simple, practical approach made it possible, and I can’t recommend enough the power of just five minutes in the garden. If you’re busy like me, this book will show you how to make gardening a part of your life.”
— Jenna Kutcher, New York Times best-selling author of How Are You, Really? and host of the Goal Digger podcast
“In The 5-Minute Gardener, Nicole brilliantly applies productivity principles to the world of gardening. Her practical, habit-based approach makes growing food achievable for even the most time-strapped individuals. As a productivity expert, I’m excited by how Burke breaks down gardening into small, manageable tasks that compound over time. This book will change how you think about food, time, and connecting with nature.”
— Michael Hyatt, New York Times best-selling author of Living Forward

Really excited to learn more about gardening. Have had flowers and tomatoes for many years. This seems like it is going to be a great book to learn workable strategies from.
