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!

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.

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!

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!
