33. Glendalough Distillery: how Geraldine Kavanagh turned her love of the outdoors into a full-time foraging career


Listen Later

While most of us are tied to computers, mobiles or any other form of technology for most of the working day – and let’s face it, probably in our spare time too – Geraldine Kavanagh’s experience is the polar opposite. Her passion for outdoors led her into foraging, which she has turned into a full-time career, creating award-winning gins at Ireland’s Glendalough Distillery. In this episode, Geraldine and I discuss her love of nature, the challenges and ease of sourcing botanicals in the wild, and tips for anyone eager to safely try their hand at foraging. I guarantee you will want to switch off from the digital world and head outside after hearing Geraldine’s story and words of wisdom in this episode.
