Jane Perrone’s 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.
