Punam Farmah is a teacher of Psychology and Social Sciences with horticultural tendencies, a trained listener, and lives in Birmingham, England. Her allotment is a short distance away, and forms the field for the natural experiments documented in ’Playing with Plant Pots: Tales from the allotment’. When not teaching or experimenting with the plot, she rather likes Star Trek, Shakespeare, the Whedon-verse as well as seeing what can be made with the preserving pan.
