A very excited Greenie Land Gang set off to Bloom in the Phoenix Park Dublin last Friday looking for fun and inspiration, they were not disappointed!
We arrived at the secret filming location in Dublin with a lot of trepidation. The big day had finally arrived where we could share our business idea with the top business people in Ireland. We were looking for and investment of 70,000 euro for 25% of our business.
As we arrived we were met by the Shinawil production team. They were all buzzing about busily with very official looking headsets but took the time to help us settle in. We soon found out we were the last people scheduled so there would be a long wait.
We practiced our pitch over and over, reviewed our prepared material and tried to ignore the nerves! It was very surreal to think we had reached this point in our venture, a small start-up home based business about to meet the Dragons!
We were delighted to support this event free of charge by hosting a colouring-in area and colouring-in competition - with free copies of Gordon Goes to Greenieland won throughout the course of the day.
What a time the Greenie Gang had at the Galway St. Patricks Festival. There was Greenie, the Greenie Land 'Celebration of Growth' float, Morag Kelly & Michael Duggan (Greenie's creators), loads of Greenie helpers and the kids, parents and teachers of St. John the Apostle Knocknacarra National School. A BIG thank you to one and all for making it such a great day! It was indeed a fantastic celebration of GREEN.
How time is flying! We are now at the half way mark and the Greenie Land St. Patricks Festival float is very much coming to life. It has turned into a fantastic community effort and we cannot thank people enough in particular our amazing volunteer float builders Denis Brown and Kay Woodcock.

A short clip with Morag talking to Teresa Mannion RTE TV western reporter about how redundancy in the corporate sector led her to thinking about other skills and eventually coming up with the concept of 'Greenieland' and producing Greenieland Interactive's first product the book 'Gordon Goes to Greenieland' (1.40 onwards)
As part of his travels around the country to hear people views on the looming budget, Cian McCormack award winning Morning Ireland RTÉ presenter spent sometime in Galway. We are all very excited that Morag was invited into the RTE studios to chat about Greenieland and how the budget is likely to affect us as a start up business.

Kitty Scully, RTE TV presenter from ‘How to Create a Garden’, and Greenie had great fun this week with children from Birdhill (Co. Tipp) and Bridgetown (Co. Limerick) National Schools. Together they discovered the joys of gardening, foraging and reading in Greenieland. It was Greenie's very first film shoot, so he was a little nervous at first, but the kids all took it in their stride. Kitty, of course, is well used to being on camera. The video will soon be available to view on our website. We can't wait! |
Barnardos provide bereavement services for children and are using Gordon Goes to Greenieland as part of these services.
Although Gordon Goes to Greenieland is not primarily about bereavement - it is very much a book about the environment, it is part of the story as Grandad reaches the end of his life and wants Gordon his young grandson to keep his garden alive. The bereavement element of the story is told in a very gentle way and we have had some wonderful feedback from Barnardos and other parents on how beneficial Gordon Goes to Greenieland is proving to be....
For every 10 books sold we provide one book to Barnardos free of charge. The book can be previewed and purchased at www.greenieland.ie
Bobby Kerr will show his true colours on Sunday June 5th, 11.30AM at the Greenieland stand in Bloom (G67), when he officially launches our book Gordon Goes to Greenieland!
Ah yes, it's that time of year again and Greenie is well excited! He was out digging his raised beds today and preparing them for red onions and scallions.... Gordon and his wibbly wobbly watering can came in very handy!
Helping us is helping Barnardos!
Visitors over the past few days have come from every corner of Ireland and the World!
