Hello and welcome to On the Ledge podcast. It's time to sit back, relax and let the On the Ledge vibe

wash over you.

I'm Jane Perrone, the British house plant expert, journalist, garden writer and chief cook and bottle washer here at on the ledge towers in the

fine county of Bedfordshire. This is episode 164 and I will be chatting this week to the force

of nature that is Travis Cooper, aka Plant to Coop on Instagram. The creator of the hashtag Plants and Poses,

he's also a dancer and choreographer and a jolly nice man. And in our wide-ranging chat,

and to Henriette, who upgraded from legend to superfan.

your mailbox or letterbox with great attention because something will be coming, I would like to say

hopefully the first week of December from my good self. I apologize in advance from my hideous

handwriting. And you've just about got time to sign up and get that special festive mail out.

You need to sign up as a superfan or a legend by the end of play.

That's midnight, my time, UK time, on the 23rd of November, which is Monday, so not much time.

That's in order to guarantee that you'll get the mail-out. If you join after that, I will try to get it out to you if I can,

but I can't guarantee it because, as you can imagine, writing about 200 mail-outs is quite a lot of

work, so please bear with me on that. For all the details about my Patreon offering, do you
