  • EP. 15 | Unlocking My Potential: The Power of Gardening with Nicole Johnsey Burke

    “Start making some sourdough. Start raising butterflies. I don't care what you do, but find some way to tap into the magic of this human experience."

    Nicole Johnsey Burke


    Nicole Johnsey Burke

    Nicole Johnsey Burke, founder of Gardenary, Inc., is on a crusade to bring back the kitchen garden, make gardening a profitable profession again, and basically save the planet for her four kids and for children around the world. After starting Rooted Garden, Inc., her own 6-figure kitchen garden business based in Houston, TX, back in 2015, Nicole launched Gardenary, Inc. in 2017. As she grew Rooted Garden, she noticed increasing growth in the health and wellness industry but saw a decline in our overall wellbeing. She realized the kitchen garden was the missing link. She formed Gardenary to become an online company that could serve gardeners at all stages of their growth—from beginner to experienced. In just a few years, Gardenary has taught 1000s of students how to garden and has trained more than 100 gardeners to start their own garden coach businesses.


    Today on Within:

    • How starting a garden can profoundly affect one’s life, providing a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
    • Focusing on your own wellbeing and self-worth can fundamentally change your approach to life and business.
    • Entrepreneurship as a path to self-discovery and empowerment, especially for women. 
    • The therapeutic and grounding effects of gardening and being in nature.
    • Persist, adapt, and grow regardless of the setbacks that you may encounter.

                                                    "Small actions like these can have a big impact in showing our kids that gender is more complex than the binary idea society often promotes. It’s not a fixed concept dictating behavior, interests, or roles—it's much more fluid" .- Melinda Wenner Moyer
