Need a podcast that sates your desire for house-blanned information, relaxing chat and general leafiness,

you're in just the right place.

This is on the ledge podcast and I am your host Jane Perrone and in this week's show.

I visit Tony LeBriton to find out about his new book, Not Another Jungle.

I don't know how Tony and I have managed it, but we both have books coming out in the same month of the year, that being April 2023.

Tony's book is out on April the 6th, and mine is out on April the 27th.

You may remember Tony from episode 191, where I interviewed him about his rare

plant collection, including some wonderful aeroids.

That was back in July 2021.

And last year, he opened a house plant shop in Northampton.

And somehow found the time to write a book about house plant care.

So he sat down in the back room of Tony's wonderful shop,

also called Not Another Jungle,

to talk all things, house plants and books.

We're here to talk about this lovely, lovely book.

I know, and I feel like we've been on parallel journeys with this. I'm not

going to go on about my book because that's not what this episode is about. It's really exciting

that your book is now a physical thing. How does it feel? It still doesn't feel real, even

though I'm sitting sort of touching. I can't help but touch the book. It does feel really

good though.

It does feel nice. And you keep sitting stroking it as well. And it has been a parallel journey and I've got to say first of all, thank you.

Because you were a little person to be there that I could reach out to and just ask questions and we bounce and things back and forwards.
