Biography
Journalism is in my blood: I wanted to follow this career from the moment I saw my byline in my primary school magazine on a one-line review of a school trip. I spent more than 20 years working in local and national newspapers as a reporter and editor before going freelance in 2017. I followed a fairly conventional route into the profession: after completing a master's in journalism and an NCTJ postgrad course, I worked in local papers for three years before joining the Guardian in 2000 as a reporter online and working my way up to an online news desk editor. In 2008 I became gardening editor at the Guardian, editing the gardens pages of Weekend magazine, making the Sow, Grow, Repeat podcast with Alys Fowler and writing features, news stories and blogposts. I left to become fully freelance six years ago, and now I write for a range of publications including the Financial Times, the Guardian, Gardens Illustrated and Gardeners' World Magazine as well as producing my podcast On The Ledge.

The Bear Grylls of the houseplant world: how to to care for and propagate sansevieria, or snake plant
By Jane Perrone| Gardens Illustrated Magazine Verified I begin this column fresh from the thankless task that is repotting a large sansevieria or snake plant. As soon as I hauled the inner plastic pot from its china cachepot, I knew there would be trouble: the beast had put on so much growth that the plastic was bulging alarmingly on one side. Sansevierias like to be a bit ‘snug’ in their pots, but I feared things had gone too far in this case, and my only option would be to cut the pot away from the rootball.
