This delightful andengaging collection of essaysillustrate how manyphilosophical ideas arise naturally in gardeners’ everyday work.
Growers by their nature are in fact already philosophers:

InPhilosophy for Gardeners, Kate Collyns usesaspects of gardening to introduce and explore a range of philosophical ideasand schools of thought; cultivating a greater understanding and appreciation ofintriguing concepts, propagated fromscience, evolution and aestheticsthrough topolitics, economics and ethics.
Broken into four sections,Soil, Growth, HarvestandCycles, each section explores questions of philosophy through the lens of the garden.A fascinating read, this book is as perfect for students of philosophy as it is for gardeners,filled with thought-provoking reflections on life, being and existence.
