Kate Collyns is a gardener and philosopher. She set up her organic market garden at Hartley Farm in Wiltshire following her graduation of the Soil Association’s Horticultural Apprenticeship in 2010. Kate has an MA in Philosophy from the University of London, and likes nothing better than to ponder the existential nature of the universe whilst weeding a bed of lettuce.
