This is probably one of the most indepth interviews I’ve ever done. I don’t think there’s any apparent reason to that but, that I usually ask the questions or I’m there as as garden person to speak of horticulture.
As a by the way, you can get this interview in all good podcast stores and via CLN Podcast in iTunes, which means you can grab it on your mobile phone.
The above image was first published in The Garden Media Guild magazine (Winter 2016 edition) and was taken at the Garden Media Awards at The Savoy Hotel, London.

In the midst of getting garden projects completed for the year end I had been somewhat remiss in posting it here and as some may have gathered the news that I am a full GMG member.
Pictured alongside me good friend and genius photographer Jonathan Ward and Clare Foggett, Editor The English Garden and GMG Chairman.

This interview first aired on Clonline Radio based in Clonakilty, West Cork.
Together with interviewer Moze Jacobs we discuss pretty much everything from how my interest in gardening and horticulture grew, from growing plants under my bed and getting it entirely wrong (aged 5) all the way to studying horticulture and to my first awards for landscaping and design.
We also talk about the very wonderful West Cork Garden Trail, the people who created those gardens and just what it means to create something so very beautiful in the great outdoors and why.
The Sodshow is Ireland’s only full time garden radio show and podcast. (Jason) Borne way back in 2011, it has twice been awarded Ireland’s Best Podcast; and for those who may not be aware I am one of the hosts, alongside the very talented Brian Greene.
For the first time in almost 250 shows and heading towards its 5th birthday it was suggested that I be interviewed; but not by Brian.
On a slight side note, I still make gardens. 😉
Press play below……
In 2001, aged just 24 (about to be 25) I started Donegan Landscaping.
My good friend Eoin of Directing Media has wanted to interview me for sometime. The publishing of this short interview video coincidentally coincides with my 15th Birthday in business. There is a longer version. But I’ll leave that for another day, for now.
Thank you all. For everything.
X Peter
