Kate White Is the former owner of The Greenhouse Cafe, Felixstowe’s much loved plant-based cafe. In 2018 she decided it was time to nudge Felixstowe to embrace more sustainable, ethical and greener ways of eating and drinking and set up the business which grew to be a well known and loved part of the town. Having had very much of a 'portfolio career'  including libraries, education, admin and training she wanted to take plant-based a stage further! Kate is an enthusiastic (but very amateur) gardener having taken on a small allotment a few years ago she is keen to learn and share organic/veganic and sustainable gardening techniques. Kate has also been involved in planning various local events including Felixstowe’s ‘WAMfest’ and likes to get stuck into  interesting projects that enhance our wonderful town!
