    The Sodshow Garden Podcast airs every Friday and is available in iTunes, all good podcast stores and www.sodshow.com and is brought to you by CurrencyFair

    From the design and layout of the gardens, the history of the house itself and its journey through that of West Cork to just how difficult it was with no help from the banks to run the estate, the management of the estate today to and to today, where you could not choose a more beautiful place on earth to wake up to. I was very honoured to be invited to stay at Bantry House and to spend more time in the gardens, to meet Sophie and Sam and to sit and the rear of the home and to chat after breakfast with Birgitte. I should also note that this interview would not have happened without Bev and Miriam of West Cork Garden Trail.

    287: Tommy Tonsberg, Hagedrom, Norway Oct 20, 2016
    Show notes

    On this episode of The Sodshow, Peter Donegan talks to editor, author, photographer, nurseryman, and Norwegian gardener Tommy Tønsberg.

    The Sodshow Garden Podcast airs every Friday and is available in iTunes, all good podcast stores and www.sodshow.com

    On this episode we delve back into how it all started, operating a horticultural business when there is snow and -30 celcius for 5 months of the year and just how Tommy started his own garden magazine. We also chat about the nursery that operates on just 500 sq metres, his 40 plus garden talks a year and just how Peter is set to become more popular than David Hasselhoff, in Norway only.

    Tommys passion for gardening was developed while gardening with grandparents and further spurred on when he started working in a garden centre at the age of 13. Tommy worked for 13 years with the Norwegian Horticultural Society (most of them) as Editor in Chief of their magazine. Two years ago Tommy alongside partner Kenneth started his own magazine, Hagedrøm.

    Summers are spent propagating plants in their nursery and opening the garden to the public. Winters are spent trying to stay warm and make plans for next gardening season.

    Tommy is due to give his first (very highly recommended) UK garden talk October 29th 2016 at Fullers Mill Garden

    285: Laura Garnett, Perennial GRBS Oct 06, 2016
    Show notes

    On this weeks garden podcast Peter Donegan chats with Laura Garnett of Perennial (GRBS) Gardeners Royal Benevolent Society. Brought to you with thanks to the very wonderful CurrencyFair for sponsoring. Please do support them, try 'em out and say hi. They are very nice people.

    And though admittedly sometimes I find it hard to talk about the more serious matters, we and I do. We chat just why someone may need to call Perennial and ask for their help, what kind of help they actually can give and just what exactly that means to those who receive it. We of course go, not entirely, off the point and discuss Peters posterior, the work of The Grubby Gardeners, why an entire community of horticulture related people love everything that is Perennial and everything (literally) that they do.

    Funny, at times sad, emotional and happy - and yet also very beautiful.

    283: Matthew Pottage, Curator, The RHS, Garden Wisley Sep 22, 2016
    Show notes

    The Sodshow Garden Podcast - with CurrencyFair - Fridays, iTunes and all good podcast stores.

    Podcast listen/ subscribe: The SodShow in iTunes The Sodshow in Stitcher – for android users On this weeks garden podcast Peter Donegan chats with Matthew Pottage, Curator at RHS Garden Wisley.

    The youngest ever appointed Curator here and the youngest curator I have ever met, together we talk a 10 year rise from student to Head of, all before the age of 30. We chat young people in horticulture, Wisleys history, it's design and layout, just how (let's be frank about it) ruddy good The RHS are at doing what they do.

    We also discuss changes, perception, getting involved, getting to Wisley and the 24o acre sites 100 year plus history. We also discuss how Matthew is far better at dressing himself than Peter and back in the land of horticulture, just what the future holds. Matthew grew up gardening in Yorkshire in the north of the UK, and from an early age was inspired by his grandmas love of plants. With no professional gardeners in the family he went on to study gardening at a local college. Following this he studied with the Royal Horticultural Society where he climbed the ranks from being a student to Curator. Matthew has a passion for all ornamentals, especially woody plants, namely conifers and a soft spot for succulents.

    Brilliant, insightful, amazing and wonderful - just some of the words I might use to describe Matthew. Thoughts or comments ? @sodshow on twitter or on facebook as The Sodshow.

    Show notes

    Brought to you by Currency Fair, proud sponsors of The Sodshow - On this weeks episode of The Sodshow Garden Podcast, Peter Donegan chats with the legend that is Rob Hardy of Hardys Cottage Garden Plants.

    From how Hardys started to how Rob actually started in the trade, what he was before he was one of the greatest minds behind one of the most successful nurseries in the world - we talk Arsenal Football Club, Liam Brady and the possibility of Peter ever being invited to the VIP section.

    We delve into the flower show arena where - it should be rightly noted - Hardys have won 21 consecutive gold medals at RHS CHelsea Flower Show, just what that means and also working alongside Rob's good lady Rosie. What a story and what an absolute gentleman.

    Thank you Rob.

    281: David Tanner, Glenview Gardens Sep 08, 2016
    Show notes

    On todays show Peter Donegan chats with David Tanner of Glenview Gardens.

    David alongside wife Mary started this garden 10 years ago. Ten ! Which is amazing considering how mature it actually looks. What beats that however is that David is not of a horticultural background, he was formerly in haulage and then took to driving a school bus. And this now, by his own words is more than just a gardening addiction.

    The gardens are stunning. Immaculately maintained and yet open pretty much the full year round. And when the visitors leave ? Mary and David then, just the two of them, start to looking after the maintenance. Huge thanks to Miriam and Bev of West Cork Garden Trail for making this interview possible. And also to David and Mary for the beautiful cake and for making me smile. Thank you.

    280: Serge de Thibault, Bamboo Park, Cork Sep 01, 2016
    Show notes

    On todays show Peter Donegan chats with Serge de Thibault, the owner and creator alongside his wife Claudine, of Bamboo Park. Mesmerising, unusual, different, eclectic and at times head scratching – this is the story of a man who made a garden, albeit 13 acres in size, set, in what has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth – Glengarriff, West Cork. Of the landscape here, there is much history and some unknown to even its current owners. What I do know is that the estates former owner Lady Ardilaun was noted however in writing in 1910 by Wyndham Fitzherbert – which gives me some idea (gardens created in mind) of its age and history. What I do know is that in 1999 Serge and Claudine de Thibault created what is now Bamboo Park, West Cork. Serge had visited Bambouseraie in Anduze, France – the largest bamboo park in Europe – and liked it that much, that he decided to make his own. And though they differ by Serge adding some species that are not solely bamboo – they also differ based on the stunning location in the middle of which Serge and Claudine live.

    My thanks to Miriam and Bev of West Cork Garden Trail for making this interview possible. And also to Claudine and Serge for being so brilliant in giving me their time. Thank you all so very much. Thoughts or comments ? @sodshow on twitter or on facebook as The Sodshow.
