31 juli 2019 | 30 min

With thanks to CED Natural Stone today Peter Donegan chats with Alistair Bayford. Alistair is a Chartered Landscape Architect and designer of The Family Monsters Garden at RHS Chelsea 2019.

Alistair studied at Writtle College achieving a 1st Class Honours degree in Landscape and Garden Design in 2004; later completing his post graduate diploma at the University of Greenwich in 2006; becoming a Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute in 2008.
His professional career started at Liz Lake Associates in 2004, progressing on to a Project Management role at Lee Valley Regional Park Authority in 2009 overseeing a number of Olympic related projects within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the Olympic Fringe.
Alistair joined idverde in 2012 as Park Manager for Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park responsible for the mobilisation of the 10 year maintenance contract achieving a prestigious BALI Principal Award in 2015.

His current role sees him leading professional services and landscape construction throughout London and the South East, specialising in park improvement and public realm projects winning nine BALI Awards in the past six years.

Alistair is a current Director of The Parks Alliance, the voice of UK Parks, acting as Vice Chair from 2016-2018.
The Family Monsters Garden celebrates 150 years of Family Action supporting families across the country and idverde's 100 years of creating and maintaining landscapes for the benefit of local communities.

The garden shows the pressures faced by every family and the journey families take to face these challenges. From financial problems to health and wellbeing issues, and from lack of time together to problems with communication and resolving disputes, the garden represents the range of pressures faced by families in Britain today. The journey to bringing these hidden issues out of the dark and into the open, so that they don’t become overwhelming, can be one of secrecy, shame and isolation, with pressures and progress obscured and hard to resolve.

Ultimately their journey in this garden leads to a family space, where all come together to reflect, get their pressures out in the open and gather strength to face them together. The pool of clear water offers reflection and perspective.

Through exhibiting this garden Alistair has discussed his own monster, how it impacted him and his young family, and how through sharing his troubles he found ways to overcome them and deal with them.

Idverde is Europe’s largest provider of grounds maintenance services and landscape construction projects, with staff operating throughout the UK and France. We offer a holistic range of services to support the creation, maintenance and management of landscapes throughout the UK, working with both public and private sector clients to deliver bespoke solutions for each project’s unique challenges.

Family Action is a national charity marking its 150th anniversary in 2019 and is committed to building stronger families by delivering innovative and effective services and support that reaches out to many of the UK’s most vulnerable people. We seek to empower people and communities to address their issues and challenges through practical, financial and emotional help.

26 juni 2019 | 30 min

Beth Lynch grew up in rural East Sussex. She read English at Cambridge and went on to complete a doctorate in seventeenth-century literature. For the next decade she worked as a lecturer, creating gardens in her spare time and ultimately training as a garden designer. She then moved unexpectedly to Switzerland, where she lived and gardened for seven years. She has recently returned to the UK. WHERE THE HORNBEAM GROWS is her first book.

The book tells the story of how, when she unexpectedly had to move to Switzerland because of her husband’s job, Beth quickly realised that the sheer will to connect with people would not guarantee a happy relocation. Out of place and lonely, Beth knew that she would need to get her hands dirty to enable her to put down roots.

And so she set about making herself at home in the way she knew best - by tending a garden, growing things. The search for a garden would take her across the country, through meadows and on mountain paths where familiar garden plants run wild, to the rugged hills of the Swiss Jura. In this remote and unfamiliar place of glow worms and dormice and singing toads she would learn to garden in a new way, taking her cue from the natural world. As she planted her paradise with hellebores and aquilegias, cornflowers and Japanese anemones, these cherished species forged green and deepening connections: to her new soil, to her old life in England, and to her deceased parents, whose Sussex garden continues to flourish in her heart.

WHERE THE HORNBEAM GROWS is about carrying a garden inwardly through loss, dislocation and relocation, about finding a sense of wellbeing in a green place of your own, and about the limits of paradise in a peopled world. It is a powerful exploration by a dazzling new literary voice of how, in nurturing a corner of the natural world, we ourselves are nurtured.

422: Cherry Carmen, Part 2, RHS Hampton 2019

18 juni 2019 | 30 min

Cherry Carmen part 2. With thanks CED Natural Stone.

Cherry Carmen was a guest on The Sodshow garden podcast way back in 2016. On todays episode she's back, over 2 episodes, to chat with Peter Donegan about her return to RHS Hampton, designing for The APL and a garden that this year will be judged.

Garden Designer Cherry Carmen returns to RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show with UK Landscape Association’s first show garden. Taking place 2nd - 7th July 2019, it will be the second consecutive year the UK based designer has been selected to work alongside and design on behalf of The Association of Professional Landscapers.

Cherry Carmen began studying horticulture in 2009 achieving RHS horticulture levels 2 &3. In 2012 she established Cherry Carmen Garden Designs, specialising in large private gardens, the redesign and realisation of. Carmen won Silver at RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show in 2016 with her first show garden, won Gold at BBC Gardeners World Live 50th Anniversary Show 2017 and designed The APL feature garden at RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2018.

Sharing the same name as last year's feature garden, ‘A Place To Meet’ the garden sees Cherry’s third appearance at the prestigious location since winning Silver with her first ever show garden in 2016.

At the 2018 Show, the APL Garden showcased just what is achievable when the finest Designers, Landscape Contractors and suppliers within the industry collaborate – for the 2019 Show the returning duo will step it up just a little into show garden category, allowing for the first-time ever an APL garden to be judged and awarded.

Though Carmen maybe better known for the design of larger private estates and gardens, her show garden designs constantly elaborate on a graceful gifted talent that seamlessly and consistently evolves yet unravels evocatively subtle differences.

Where the silver medal garden at Hampton 2016 had the deepest depth ever dug at the 10 hectare showground, 2018's planting remained the only elements sunken and 2019's design is set to have multiple levels of planting, a raised seating area, water feature, pond and private plunge pool.

419: Matt Biggs, Part 2, RHS A Nation In Bloom

28 maj 2019 | 30 min

Matt Biggs Part 2.

Matthew Biggs is a well-known gardening expert, regular panellist on BBC Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time, author of several books including RHS Lessons from the Great Gardeners and RHS Great British Village Show and a former guest of The Sodshow.

A Nation in Bloom is his latest book and on this weeks episode of The Sodshow Garden Podcast he chats with Peter Donegan. This is Part 1 of 2.

From its small beginnings in the 19th century to the global success of the Chelsea Flower Show today, the Royal Horticultural Society is truly part of the fabric of Britain. In A NATION IN BLOOM, we discover the new direction of the Royal Horticultural Society, how it aims to inspire us all through plants and gardens, to improve our lives, and to encourage gardeners for generations to come. Illustrated with beautiful photography throughout, this book is the rich, varied and compelling story of how plants and gardens can transform people’s lives and help to define the culture of an entire nation, both now and for the future.

Matthew Biggs is a well-known gardening expert and regular panellist on BBC Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time and author of several books including RHS Lessons from the Great Gardeners and RHS Great British Village Show.

From hugely popular flower shows to the inspirational Britain in Bloom campaign, today’s RHS is flourishing as never before. In this beautiful new book, Matthew Biggs uncovers the beating heart of the nation’s largest gardening charity as it leads a renaissance of interest and enthusiasm for all things horticultural.

We may think we know the RHS through its gardens at Wisley, Hyde Hall, Rosemoor and Harlow Carr, its flower shows, including the world-famous RHS Chelsea Flower Show, its prestigious medals, awards and prizes, and its libraries, laboratories, books and magazines. But the society is in a process of subtle, sometimes radical evolution to become more open, more friendly, more helpful, and more relevant to its members (now more than half a million) and to the wider benefit of all gardeners today. Campaigns like It’s Your Neighbourhood and community-generated work under the Greening Grey Britain banner sit alongside the Campaign for School Gardening – with schools around the country encouraging the next generation to learn and grow with plants.

Author Matthew Biggs also draws attention to the campaigns which emphasise the important contribution gardeners make to improving our environment, and, at a time of increasing mental health problems, stress the vast range of proven benefits of gardening on our health and sense of wellbeing. He also looks at the work the RHS does to promote horticulture as a career to be proud of.

The RHS promotes best practice through its plant science and plant trials; it recognises plants with the Award of Garden Merit; and helps give all gardeners – beginners or experienced – confidence that they can grow plants wherever they are in their gardening journey. Across the vast website, through myriad publications or engaging with it on its many social media platforms, there is a part of the RHS for everyone.

Looking forward, some of the society’s work comes out from behind the scenes for the first time at Wisley’s forthcoming National Centre for Horticultural Science and Learning. Likewise, the exceptional collections at the RHS Lindley Library are in the process of being opened up through digitisation and a new exhibition space now shows some of its rare and beautiful items.

418: Thomas Piper, Piet Oudolf Movie, Five Seasons

18 maj 2019 | 30 min

Dartmouth Films presents, Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf. Directed by Thomas Piper which Premieres in the UK at Picturehouse Central, 13 June 2019.

On todays episode Thomas talks with Peter Donegan.

The Sodshow is available weekly in iTunes, spotify, Youtube and all good podcast stores.

Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf is an immersion in the life and work of the most influential landscape designer of the last 50 years. Piet is responsible for New York’s High Line and many other iconic urban spaces. Closer home, Piet designed the landscaping for the entire site at Hauser & Wirth Somerset. He is in great demand for his revolutionary ideas of what gardens and public spaces can be, and the impact they can have. More than just a movie for gardeners, Five Seasons changes the way all of us think about and ultimately see beauty itself.

About Five Seasons:

Celebrated by gardeners for his revolutionary designs, by ecologists for his significant contributions to bio-diversity, by horticulturalists and botanists for his unrivalled knowledge of plants, and by the art, design and fashion worlds for his innovative aesthetics, Piet Oudolf has achieved a level of influence and cultural relevance, rarely, if ever, attained by, in his own words, a modest plantsman.

Over the course of the documentary, Piet leads filmmaker Thomas Piper and his camera on a wandering journey, visiting many of his iconic works, including his own garden in Holland and the great public works in New York, Chicago, and the UK, as well as far-flung sources of inspiration, from German industrial parks to the deep woods of Pennsylvania, and a Texas wildflower explosion.

In between travel, we are afforded an exclusive look at the entire process of creating a garden — from winter studio sketches to foggy spring planting and, finally, a late September opening celebration — all through a single project, what Piet now refers to as his masterpiece, the 7000 square metre public garden for the art gallery, Hauser & Wirth Somerset.

With meditative cinematography and intimate conversations, Five Seasons follows Piet over the course of a year, a structure that accentuates the element of time in Piet’s designs. Beginning in late autumn, the remnants of summer opulence in his gardens give way to the ‘skeletons’ and seed heads of winter. With spring, the cycle begins again, through the peak of summer flowers, and by the return of fall, a complex subject has helped us to appreciate his complex work, forever changing the way we see the world around us.

Piet Oudolf:

Piet Oudolf was born in 1944 in Haarlem, Netherlands. Since 1982, he has lived and worked in Hummelo, a tiny village in east Netherlands, where he started a nursery with his wife Anja, to grow perennials. His garden has since become renowned for its radical approach and ideas about planting design.

Oudolf also co-founded Future Plants, a company specialising in selecting, growing, breeding and protecting plants for landscaping and public areas. Oudolf’s recent public projects include No. 5 Culture Chanel, Paris, France; The High Line, New York NY; Lurie Garden, Millennium Park, Chicago IL; Serpentine Gallery, London, England, and the Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy.

Oudolf is also a successful author, having co-written numerous books such as; “Planting: A New Perspective” (2013); “Landscape in Landscapes” (2011); “Gardening with Grasses” (1998); “Designing with Plants and Planting Design” (1999); “Dream Plants for the Natural Garden” (2000); “Planting the Natural Garden” (2003), and “Planting Design: Gardens in Time and Space” (2005). In his 35-year career, Oudolf has achieved international acclaim, and has recently been awarded an Honorary Fellowship from RIBA for developing radical ideas in Planting Design (2012) and the Prince Bernhard Cultural Foundation Award (2013).

Thomas Piper:

Thomas Piper is an award-winning non-fiction filmmaker, specialising in documenting the contemporary arts. He holds the role of Director of Production for Checkerboard Films, and has directed, photographed and edited more than 25 films on contemporary painters, sculptors, photographers, architects, and writers.

His 2008 film, Ellsworth Kelly: Fragments, won the Best Film for Television award at the prestigious International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA) in Montreal. As an independent producer, he was commissioned by the Guggenheim Museum to make Art, Architecture, and Innovation: Celebrating the Guggenheim Museum, a documentary marking the 50th anniversary of the Frank Lloyd Wright museum building. He is currently in production on a documentary about the cult architecture firm, Lot-ek.

In studio with Andrew Fisher Tomlin, today alongside Peter Donegan we chat with Richard Wilford of Head of Garden Design at Kew Royal Botanic Gardens. Richard has worked at Kew for over 30 years and albeit he was working with British Gas, he held a degree in Biology and started with a temporary job there before mbecoming responsible for a collection and moving into his current position.

This episode with thanks to Andrew Fisher Tomlin and The London College of Garden Design.

Of himself Richard says:

I am Head of Garden Design at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. I have been in this role for four and a half years but I have been at Kew for 30 years. I started in the Alpine Nursery back in 1989, mainly looking after the large, pot-grown bulb collection. I have also worked on the Rock Garden and managed the alpine, woodland, grass and herbaceous collections. In 2012 I graduated from the London College of Garden design with a Diploma in Garden Design. Projects I have worked on include rebuilding and extending parts of the Rock Garden, the landscaping and planting of the Davies Alpine House, which opened in 2006, and the design of the Broad Walk Borders- the 320 metre long double herbaceous borders at Kew that were finished in 2016. Current projects are the Children’s Garden, opening in May this year, and the Evolution Garden, due to be finished in July. The Evolution Garden is on the site of the Plant Family Beds and will show the plant ‘tree of life’, which is the result of research in molecular systematic (studies of plant DNA) that helps scientists understand how plants are related and how they have evolved.

I have written books of tulips, alpines, bulbs and more tulips. I have another book on bulbs, ‘The Kew Gardener’s Guide to Growing Bulbs, due to be published this autumn.

12 december 2018 | 30 min

Peter Donegan chats with David Ward, Garden and Nursery Director at Beth Chatto Gardens.

Beth Chatto was born and bred an “Essex Girl” with both her parents keen gardeners. She studied to become a teacher and always tried to include gardening in her classes. Beth married Andrew Chatto in 1943 and settled into domestic life, raising two daughters. Living next door to Ramparts nursery run by Pamela Underwood, Beth learnt the art of Flower arranging and was introduced to the local plantsman Sir Cedric Morris who became a “spiritual father to her. The family moved to Elmstead Market in 1960 and Beth set about creating her garden and opened a nursery “Unusual Plants” in 1967.

Beth was catapulted into the gardening world in 1976 with her iconic Chelsea displays and 10 Gold Medals. A natural communicator, through her books, lectures as well as one to one with visitors to the gardens, many people have a personal connection. Championing the mantra of “right plant, right place” with her own practical experience and artistic skills. Sadly Beth passed away in May 2018 but her garden and nursery continues to thrive under her loyal team along with an Educational Trust, set up in her name to further Beth’s horticultural ethos.

Dave first met Beth as a Horticultural student in 1977 whilst studying Nursery practices at Merrist Wood College in Surrey. After working at Bressingham Gardens, on nurseries in Boskoop, Holland and a couple of tree nurseries in this country he eventually settled at Avon bulbs in Somerset for three years. Regularly visiting Beths garden and seeing her at Chelsea as a fellow exhibitor he was taken by her range of plants. Dave joined her team in 1983 when Beth was looking for someone to train up to take over the propagation. Beth seemed particularly keen to employ a fellow East Anglian (I was born in Norwich). His experience allowed him to update the nursery and freed Beth up to concentrate on the garden and Chelsea. As the propagation team grew he was able to spend more time with Beth in the garden and helped her create the Gravel garden as well as plant up our woodland garden following the great storm in October 1987.

368: Max Harriman

24 maj 2018 | 30 min

Peter Donegan chats with RHS Young Designer 2018 Finalist Max Harriman, a garden designer with Bowles and Wyer and former student of London College of Garden Design.

The Sodshow is available every Friday in Spotify, all good podcast stores and The Sodshow website.

Having grown up on an arable farm in Northumberland, Max established a passion for gardening from a young age. His profound fascination with the plant kingdom led Max to study Plant Biology at University where his research touched on agricultural genetics and floral form. Max enrolled at the London College of Garden Design under the tutelage of Andrew Wilson. Upon graduation, in which Max gained a Distinction, he was also awarded the external examiner’s prize for his final project, as decided by James Basson. Since completion of his diploma, Max kick started his career and is currently working as a Junior Designer for the highly acclaimed Landscape Design firm Bowles and Wyer.

Max used his experience within the scientific field to explore the research surrounding landscape design and improving mental health. His garden, ‘Calm in Chaos’ which highlights the importance of green space in the urban environment, has been selected to participate in the Young Garden Designer of the Year competition at the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show.

Calm in Chaos:

Calm in Chaos is a space designed for guests to escape the stresses associated with urban living. The garden has been designed around key elements of the natural environment that have been proven to improve mental well being, and invites the visitor to spend as much time within the space as to reap the restorative benefits.

The meandering path increases the sense of scale, whilst the series of timber posts partially obscure the guest’s view creating constantly changing viewpoints and encouraging further exploration into the space. The natural and restrained material palette creates simplicity and a calming atmosphere. Planting in the garden is predominantly green to highlight the importance of green space. The variety in leaf form, shape and size are designed to stimulate the attention of visitors, whilst white and cream flowers bring about a feeling of calm.

The Embroidered Minds Epilepsy Garden:

Embroidered Minds is a collaboration between writers, artists, doctors and historians to explore the effects of epilepsy, which affected the eldest daughter of William Morris and raise awareness of epilepsy and the challenges it can still carry today.

The garden represents different states of a seizure. The pre-seizure area of the garden is calm and sedate with mainly green and white planting, including Acanthus mollis, used so often in Morris designs, and Valeriana officinalis, which was one of the first epilepsy drugs. An oak bench, tiled path and foreground garden are interrupted by dramatic, harsh and brown planting that represents a seizure. Beyond is the more vivid planting associated here with the possible heightening of the senses post seizure. Here orange spires of Eremurus, blue Aquilegia and white peonies flourish.

VTB Capital Garden - Spirit of Cornwall at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2018

Following Stuart & Beth’s joint success with their last show garden they have since collaborated on several commercial projects. Spirit of Cornwall was jointly co-designed by them and the rest of the team with Stuart leading the project through to its inception.

One of the Show Gardens to be unveiled at the Chelsea Flower Show in May this year will be The VTB Capital

Garden – ‘Spirit of Cornwall’ – a unique creative collaboration not usually seen in the industry, bringing together

garden designers, architects, a composer, musicians and a sculptor; all commissioned by VTB Capital, a leading

international bank.

Garden design is by multi award-winning garden designers Stuart Charles Towner & Bethany Williams, winners of Gold & Best in Show RHS Hampton 2015, in collaboration with a multi-award winning creative team of architects Studio Evans Lane, Constella OperaBallet & sculptor Sheila Vollmer.

Sited on Chelsea’s Main Avenue ‘Spirit of Cornwall’ is a multi-sensory experience: inspired by the work of renowned

British sculptor Barbara Hepworth; and music composed by Leo Geyer, Artistic Director Constella OperaBallet, specially commissioned by the Hepworth Estate and Tate St Ives to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hepworth’s garden.

Conceived as a garden for a sculptor and a composer, ‘Spirit of Cornwall’ is contemporary in style, the garden features a palette of subtropical and temperate plants, illustrating the unique microclimates found throughout Cornwall. Concrete and steel form the only hard landscaping elements in the garden.

The metalwork that runs throughout the garden is a physical manifestation of the music, taken from the sound wave

pattern, with its peak expressed by the garden pavilion, a space for composing and performing designed by awardwinning architectural practice, Studio Evans Lane.

Water features echo the sea views from Hepworth’s garden. The continuous circulation of water reinforces the

musical motif. Sculptures by International sculptor Sheila Vollmer nestle amongst the planting, drawing inspiration from the rhythms of the garden design, the music and her own practice style; sources such as Russian Constructivism.

VTB Capital is proud to have commissioned the ‘Spirit of Cornwall’ garden and support its talented designers and artists at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Established in the City of London for almost 100 years, VTB Capital helps its investment banking and corporate clients grow their businesses and retail customers grow their savings.

VTB Capital has carved out a reputation as a reliable business partner for clients from around the world. According to

the league tables published by Dealogic, Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters, VTB Capital has consistently been one of the top three Investment Banks in the CEE since 2009.

My thanks to Christopher and the team at Warner Edwards who were just wonderful in making this interview happen. Thank you all really so very much.

About Warner Edwards:

Warner Edwards are innovative craft distillers and creators of award winning, hand-made artisan gins. Passionate about quality, flavour and authenticity with a core goal to save the world from mediocre gin!

From a 200 year old barn on Falls Farm in the picturesque village of Harrington, Northamptonshire, they lovingly distil a range of small batch, fantastically smooth, award winning gins using the farm’s natural spring water, grain spirit and home-grown ingredients. Each batch is small, and every single bottle is handcrafted by them, from the filling to the wax seal and label finishing.

About the Warner Edwards Garden at RHS Chelsea 2018:

Inspired by the Warner Edwards Distillery, ‘The Warner Edwards Garden’ reflects the surrounding landscape of its home, Falls Farm, Northamptonshire. Terraced gardens, once part of a medieval manor house and now a scheduled monument under English Heritage, sits alongside the natural springs on the farm in Harrington, a village said to be ‘built on rock and water’, which have been reimagined in key design features of the garden.

The choice of planting is inspired by the farm’s botanical gardens and hedgerows and showcases many of the natural flavours used in the creation of Warner Edwards’ hand-made artisan gins.

Bee friendly plants and a Bee Bole set into old stone walling reflect the farm’s apiary, and two copper seats at the top of the garden have been designed to represent the Warner Edwards’ stills Curiosity and Satisfaction, offering the perfect place to sit and enjoy a G+T after a long day.

6 januari 2018 | 30 min

Ian Thwaites is passionate about the Cacti and Succulents and he's a stalwart of The British Cactus an Succulent Society.

Honestly, I didn't even know this plant society existed until leaving the Garden Media Guild awards 2017. There was a copy of their magazine in my bag, which is crazy considering I know Ian as long as I'm a member of the GMG.

That, led me to put out a question ( see below) on plant and garden society's, perceptions held, why some plant society's fail and, equally succeed. The response was surprisng, in how passionately people of all ages and genres responded. I felt I should do something or at least ask those questions.

And so on this episode Peter Donegan and fellow GMG member, friend and photographer Ian chat all of those things and all of those why questions that bounce around in Peter's head.

The Sodshow is available every Friday in Spotify, all good podcast stores and The Sodshow website.

Ian Thwaites:

Cacti have been a part of my life for the past 40 years and through which I have made some wonderful friendships, many of whom I now regard as family. I have travelled extensively looking at and studying succulent plants in their natural environment.

Professionally I am an award-winning freelance professional plant and garden photographer supplying images to the editorial and advertising market across the world. I am a member of the Professional Garden Photographers Association and a committee member of the Garden Media Guild.

The British Cactus and Succulent Society:

The BCSS should be the first stop for anyone interested in Cacti and Succulents. It doesn’t matter if you have a few plants on a windowsill or a greenhouse full there is always something that will interest plant enthusiasts. The society (registered Charity No. 290786) is structured to serve its members and a warm welcome is assured should you visit any event.

With over 80 branches throughout the UK meeting monthly you will have the opportunity to meet other enthusiasts and to learn more about growing these amazing plants.

It contains articles about new species, plants in the wild, cultivation techniques and, of course, what the Society’s many branches and members are up to. The society also publishes books, more technical journals and many other useful reading items. An annual seedless is really not to be missed. Many branches hold annual shows where you get the opportunity to see some wonderful specimens and there are usually plant sales by members and often specialist nurseries.

This website offers a wealth of information about the Society – including how to join – and is your gateway to the wonderful world of cacti and other succulents.

12 oktober 2017 | 28 min

Peter Donegan chats with Ann Torrence and Robert Marc of Stray Arrow Ranch, Live from Salt Lake City Utah.

@sodshow on twitter - facebook The Sodshow

Live from Salt Lake City Utah, brought to you by Thyme and Place, this is the first show from the first night of The Sodshow Live. Peter Donegan was there for a little over one week were 6 guests in total, over 2 nights either side of St Patricks Day 2017 were interviewed in front of a live audience.

That story is most probably better told by The Salt Lake Tribune. Stray Arrow Ranch is a 6 acre farm that grows 500 apple trees and has become Utahs first Orchard based cider making operation. The wonderful people behind this are Robert Marc and Ann Torrence.

Very much more to the reason why I admire them more, neither Ann nor Robert hold any formal horticultural training. Ann is in fact a former travelling photographer and author; and Robert a university scientist.

Of interest to you based in the UK and Ireland side of the globe, Stray Arrow Ranch gets about 12 inches of water per annum and because of the rights to water - they are allowed 12 hours of water per approximate 10 days - making, horticulture in mind, the growing of plants just that little more challenging.

We get into this, grafting of trees, Ann's book, how Robert and Ann actually met and just how they managed to settle in Utah and why they left their jobs to set up what is now Stray Arrow Ranch.

Marie Overgaard Nielsen - Taste Aarhus & the Green Embassy Marie chats about putting the Green Embassy right in the heart of the green area; a space that is accessible, open and lit up round the clock for all to see to encourage them to come in. She also chats Taste Aarhus, a wild taste festival of ant eating with mohitos and toasted worms - but essentially, they encourage people to try - allowing them to fail and encouraging them to try again. It is also about gardens wild - but getting the people to the nature; urban community gardens for socialising and hanging out.

Peter Donegan chats with Manoj Malde, Silver Gilt medal winner at RHS Chelsea 2017. This was his first time to design there.

It's worth noting maybe, that this interview was recorded before medals were awarded.

Inspired by the work of architect Luis Barragan, Beneath a Mexican Sky garden was sponsored by Inland Homes Plc.

Together Peter and Manoj chat first time everything at Chelsea, finding a sponsor, being bold, the confidence to go there and walk that walk. The garden build, leaving your partner very far away from the garden build, sanity and the right contractor by your side.

Manoj Malde was born in Kenya in 1967 and moved to the UK at the age of four. Although he was raised in the UK, he attributes much of his love of colour to his ethnic background and Indian ancestry.

As a graduate of the Master’s programme in fashion design at the Royal College of Art, Manoj’s career has taken him to Italy, Germany, New York, Hong Kong and India. He worked in the fashion industry for 18 years, latterly as creative director.

Manoj then studied garden design at the English Gardening School and uses much of his fashion experience within his present career as a landscape designer. Although the materials have changed, his thought process still begins with themes, mood boards, colour palettes and textures. Manoj says; “Designing a planting scheme is like creating a sumptuous print on silk. I’ve gone from Crinolines to Camellias; from haute couture to ‘hort’ couture.”

Manoj has created gardens for various private clients as well as property developers. He has worked as a consultant on many projects, given presentations to garden societies and also enjoys writing a gardening blog. His ambition is to expand his garden design career into TV, with the aim of inspiring a passion for gardening in the younger generation and those from ethnic backgrounds. He also plans to develop his design work further into public spaces, hotels, spas and more private gardens in the Mediterranean and further afield.

With thanks to Tanya and Rosie at Rose Tinted PR.

Peter Donegan chats with Andrea Jones author of The Garden Photography Workshop.

Of Andrea her bio notes:

For over twenty years Andrea Jones has built an international reputation photographing landscape architecture, gardens and plants. The latter being the subject of Andrea's critically acclaimed book "Plantworlds" (2005). More recently, she travelled throughout the USA and Canada to illustrate "Great Gardens of America" (2009) whilst “The Garden Source” (2012) depicts inspirational ideas for gardens and landscapes. Having illustrated a multitude of garden related books for other authors “The Garden Photography Workshop” is her latest solo book in which she shares her experience and offers tips and techniques for photographing gardens.

Andrea studied art and photography in the late seventies and early eighties in Southern England. In the nineties she was elected a Fellow of the RSA and has since had several successful exhibitions. She works with leading Landscape Architects and Garden Designers worldwide documenting their work, for a multitude of magazines worldwide and also accepts private commissions. Her home is now in Scotland where she is represented by the photo library, Garden Exposures.

Of The Garden Photography Workshop Book, publishers Timber Press note:

One of the most rewarding aspects of gardening is sharing its beauty, both physically with those who visit and virtually with those who only see it on a screen. But capturing a garden's true essence is difficult, and often the moments worth sharing are ephemeral. In The Garden Photography Workshop, internationally known garden photographer Andrea Jones shares the trade secrets that make her photos sing. You'll learn the basic photography skills and tips on using a range of camera equipment, covering everything from DSLRs to smartphones and accessories. Profiles of real gardens from around the world exemplify the most common problems a photographer can face, like harsh light, wet weather, and cramped spaces, along with advice and techniques for addressing specific concerns. We live in a photo-driven world, and this helpful guide is a complete tutorial for anyone who wants that world to be filled with beautiful images of gardens and plants. On that note, huge thanks to the very wonderful team at Timber Press for their help in making this interview happen.

Karen Chapman’s love of gardening led her to establish her container and landscape design business, Le Jardinet, in 2006. She writes regular garden-related articles for online and print publications and her work has been featured in numerous national magazines, including Fine Gardening and Better Homes & Gardens titles. Karen is also an instructor for Craftsy and a popular speaker at garden clubs, nurseries and Flower and Garden Shows across the country. She lives on 5 rural acres in Duvall, Washington, where she is trying to create her dream garden – despite the deer.

Karen Chapman and Christina Salwitz have been traveling along parallel paths for many years as horticulturalists, designers, speakers and writers, sharing their passion for creating inspirational gardens with readers and audiences nationwide.

Their designs, articles and photographs have been featured in many national publications including Garden Design, Fine Gardening, Sunset and Better Homes and Gardens and they are both popular container gardening instructors, teaching at local community colleges and custom workshops. They have also earned a reputation for being as entertaining as they are informative – which they hope is a compliment!

In 2013 they published the award winning book Fine Foliage and have just released their second book Gardening with Foliage First (Timber Press, 2017)

302: Tara Moloney, White Dove Nurseries. The Sodshow, Live at Bloom Fringe

2 februari 2017 | 28 min

Peter Donegan chat with Tara Moloney of White Dove Nurseries, Limerick. @sodshow - twitter. facebook - The Sodshow

Live from Powerscourt Townhouse Centre as part of Bloom Fringe, Tara does what was unknown to Peter pre that, her first interview ever. In this case it was live, in front of an audience.

In late 2012, Tara moved to Co. Limerick from Surrey in the UK. Having both worked in the South East in professional horticulture, for more than 15 years, we had an idea that we might pool all of our green experience into one resource, and set about buying an old worm farm and turning it into a plant nursery in Templeglantine.

Of note: Tara has a weekly stall at Limerick's famous Milk Market, where they sell locally grown plants, plant curiosities and our range of heirloom seeds for flowers and vegetables.

Alongside Tara is Mark Lewis; an experienced Retail Horticulture Manager and Print Photographer with extensive plant knowledge and has worked for one of the UK's best known garden chains, Squires, for over 10 years. Mark now runs the Nursery at the farm.

Tara Maloney has worked in various niche roles in Retail Horticulture and Garden Management for over 10 years. Starting out at Squires in Twickenham as a part time assistant and then leading a region for Notcutts Tara managed some of the South East's best Planterias and worked as a Regional Horticulture Manager for Wyevale.

In 2009, she designed and built a garden for the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show, winning a Silver-Gilt Medal for 'The Dinosaur Den'.

Tara studied Garden Design and RHS qualifications, and worked for various private homes and A List clients in the central London area as a gardener, florist, and sometimes, as the clients demanded, a housekeeper! Tara also worked for the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, alongside Quincy Leon Head of Licensing and Product Development and as the plant buyer, sourcing plants for the gardens and shop, as well as providing an opportunity for engagement between the public and the gardeners at Kew.

Prior to moving to Ireland, Tara took on a year's consultancy with the staff of the aspirational Petersham Nurseries, in Richmond, Surrey. Working closely with Lara Boglione, Managing Director and Lucy Boyd, Culinary Director, Tara managed the team through a period of change at the Nursery - overhauling and re-organising the plant shop's business systems, horticulture practices and renovating and co-ordinating the re-design and opening of the last derelict Victorian Glasshouse into a fully flexible on site public arena for events, meetings as well as an aspirational indoor retail space.

This year they are working to set up an outdoor Cut Your Own Flower beds, and hope to be in some sort of running order by the end of July 2017. In the meantime, we have our permanent market stall at the Milk Market and are looking forward to another great year with our seed collection.

In the heart of the Cafe and Fashion Quarter, we offer a selection of houseplants, outdoor plants as well as in season cut flowers and planted gifts.

25 januari 2017 | 28 min

@sodshow on twitter - facebook TheSodshow

On this weeks garden podcast Peter Donegan chats with Philip Turvil of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

If I'm really honest, Philips love of horticulture is infectious. And he's pretty wonderful not only at what he does - you can read his bio below - but more for how he sees horticulture and what that achieves. And honestly really honestly, if there were trophies that I could give out for people who, in this industry, are really (really really) amazing, he'd be right up up there on the tallest podium I could find.

So carried away I got, again, listening to Philip - it appears I missed entirely what we got him on the sodshow for - to talk about the Grow Wild Programme. I'll fix that I promise. Grab a cuppa, go take a listen and enjoy.

On a mild side note, I first met Philip at the Garden Media Guild Awards and we last met, last weekend at the Party for Perennial. Fair to say, it has always been an honour.

Phlip Turvil - Biography:

Philip Turvil is responsible for Grow Wild; the UK’s biggest-ever wild flower campaign, bringing millions of people together to transform local spaces with UK native plants and fungi. Supported by the Big Lottery Fund, Grow Wild is the national outreach initiative of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Philip’s current focus is Grow Wild strategy to develop its impact with partner organisations.

Before joining Kew, Philip managed Master Gardeners; Garden Organic’s national volunteer mentor network sharing food growing advice in local communities. He previously worked in practical/education roles at botanic, heritage, and zoological gardens, and was a horticultural advisor for the BBC and London 2012.

Philip gained an honours degree in horticulture (University of Reading) and masters in management (Bath University). He was a finalist for Journalist of the Year in 2011 and 2012 (Garden Media Guild).

On todays show Peter Donegan chats with Cherry Carmen, designer of the Immerse Garden for Perennial GRBS at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2016.

From how whilst working in a garden centre Cherry home studied her RHS qualifications, to the setting up her own business, to her first ever show garden design and build under her own name - on one of the wettest June months on record where the design went below ground level - to just how 6 days before build for Hampton Court Palace Flower Show began, Cherrys design was submitted.

Part way through the recording of this interview there was a pause however. It is here that we chat just why Cherry was away on holidays as that design was done. And it is there I discover that Cherry has just completed her second round of chemotherapy. Show Links:

Podcast listen/ subscribe: The SodShow in iTunes The Sodshow in Stitcher – for android users This Friday, Peter Donegan and Brian Greene chat with Phillip Johnson.

Phillip Johnson, for those who may not be aware, in 2013 won Gold and Best In Show at RHS Chelsea Flower Show. We met at The Royal Hospital Chelsea when there to cover Chelsea Flower Show. Fair to note that we hadn't planned to do this interview, solely because we didn't think for one minute we'd get it to happen. We did. In was and is to date the most emotional piece of audio I have ever been a part of. It was an honour.

To quote 500 poppies:

Lynn Berry and Margaret Knight set out to crochet a humble 120 poppies to “plant” at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne Australia for Remembrance Day in 2013 in honour of their fathers Wal Beasley (14/32nd Battalion – Australian Imperial Forces) and Stan Knight (Queen’s Own West Kent Regiment – British Army).

Say RHS Chelsea

A breathtaking display of thousands of handmade poppies adorns the vista from the showground to the Royal Hospital this year. Designer Phillip Johnson, who won Best Show Garden in 2013, is the creator behind the poignant flower exhibit. Using almost 300,000 individually crocheted poppies, Phillip’s garden design covers nearly 2,000sq m (21,000sq ft) in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and show visitors can admire his work from the showground.

They also note in the printed programme:

Major sponsors, the Victorian Government and Quantas have flown the installation to London. The estimated load is 35 cubic metres of poppies - approximately half the cargo hold of an A3 Airbus.

12 februari 2016 | 26 min

On this weeks show Peter Donegan is interviewed by radio and podcasting legend Andrew Mangan. It’s a long story short as to why Brian isn’t doing it, but we’ll leave that there for another day. In 5 years as The Sodshow, Peter has never actually been interviewed and this changes I guess everything. And so, from where Peter’s folks are from, his many homes and now 15 years as Donegan Landscaping by the age of 24 to shamrocks on pints of guinness (something very rarely a suggested to an Irishman in Ireland), a horrible start to growing seeds at 5 years of age and playing guitar badly through horticultural college. Andrew pretty much clears it all up……. This part 1. Part 2 to follow a bit later, not so much about Peter but more, an indepth look behind the scenes of The Sodshow and Peter’s relationship with the also very legendary Brian Greene. ————————————————————- Andrew Mangan is the brains behind the castaway media podcasting network, the host of the award winning 738am podcast and (also award winning) Arsenal podcast – Arsecast – which, has sold out live shows in both the UK and Ireland. He is also a professional voice over artist for over 25 years and is represented by The Lisa Richards agency. He and his studio based in South William Street Dublin are both available for hire and come higher than highly recommended – we have used both.
More than that I am subscribed to both of his podcasts, see below, we are huge fans of his and to be very fair he is, an absolute gentleman. twitter: @andrewmanganVO Further info: Andrew Mangan, Voice Over ————————————————————— Other Links: web: Peter Donegan Landscaping FB: Donegan Landscaping Twitter: @DoneganGardens Thoughts or comments ? @sodshow on twitter or on facebook as The Sodshow.

21 augusti 2015 | 26 min

On this weeks episode of The Sodshow, Peter Donegan chats with two of Irelands largest and best growers of one of Ireland’s greatest exports (85% of all grown in Ireland are exported) – the mushroom.

From picking and how they are grown, to the industry itself, the benefits nutritionally, how Monaghan Mushrooms employ 3,500 people, worldwide (yes, you read correctly) all the way up to the ‘Just Add Mushroom’ campaign (their Facebook page has 109,000 plus likes… Yes, you read correctly) and the support the industry receives from Bord Bia, Ireland’s Food Promotional Board – who we should also thank for their help in putting this weeks show together.

The Sodshow – Ireland’s garden podcast, can be found in iTunes and all good podcast stores from 3.30pm every Friday.

220: The Sodshow meets Finbarr OMahony of West Cork Secret – Part 2

16 juli 2015 | 24 min

Part 2 of 2, as Peter Donegan returns to West Cork Secret, Kilbrittain. Part 1, embedded below.

There Peter met 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 aired Friday 10th July. Part 2, Friday July 17th.

On this weeks show – I wanted to figure out a way for you to hear and see how to get the best from your lawn this year. Not from the voices of the horticultural experts who keep the Queens croquest lawns pristine and immaculate but, from those who volunteer, free gratis and still do an absolute sterling job, without the PGA standard expert super dooper equipment. Gentlemen. Legends.

Meet Ronnie and Vince from Ballyboughal Pitch and Putt Club
