219: The Sodshow meets Finbarr OMahony of West Cork Secret - Part 1 Jul 10, 2015

Show notes

On this weeks show Peter Donegan returns to Cork to meet college friend, friend, colleague, fine gentleman and fellow horticulturist Finbarr O’Mahony of West Cork Secret.

And you probably wouldn’t believe us if we told you, or you would; but Peter was again, camping, in Cork, on his holidays, in the very stunning gardens of West Cork Secret. Whilst there, the former students took a little time out to chat together.

From college life before, during and after Kildalton were they studied together; to setting out in business at younger than 25 years of age; and from the lows of the tough years and getting through; to just what and why some choose to tough it out in an industry where the rewards are not entirely monetary – but more than worth every single second.

Part 1 airs this Friday 10th July and part 2, next Friday July 17th. Not to be missed.

The Sodshow airs every live Friday at 3pm and can be found in all good podcast stores around tea-time that evening. Our thanks to our radio show sponsors Greensax.
