Here's what clients say

"I feel very privileged this year to have organic fruit, vegetables and herbs growing in my own backyard. Thank you Bryan for planting and taking care of my garden. I also liked the mouse melons which I had never heard of and was pleasantly surprised. Looking forward to next year's backyard garden. Thanks!"

"We had a blast with Backyard Groceries this year building our school garden! They provided excellent support in starting and maintaining the garden. Through different hands on activities, students learned lots about planting and the environment that we can never do within the four walls of our classroom."
- Iris M

"Wow, the backyard is looking like a dream! I just saw it today as I came home late last night and didn't notice the changes. I've been so busy at work lately that getting things organized in the garden sort of fell off my list of priorities. What a change! All cleaned and looking perfect with just a few things for me to do now.
Thank you so much for transforming our not-so-useful backyard into this productive land that keeps me grounded and happy. Keeping it organized and well looked after is another task that seemed daunting but not anymore;-) The last project has been another success and we are very pleased with the outcome. I have been enjoying my tomatoes, raspberries, blackberries, chard, celery, herbs, kale etc.etc.... I just love coming out there and enjoying this little glimpse of paradise you've created for us. I feel like a real gardener now which is of course just an illusion as I don't think I would ever be able to accomplish any of this on my own.
We are really grateful for all the hard work and care you have given to our garden and by extension to us. Also, knowing that it is all organic and clean gives me even greater incentive to keep going so we can continue to contribute to our health as much as it is possible in this polluted and stress filled world. I believe that this year I've gained some experience and a lot of understanding, thanks to your gentle guidance, and hope to be a better student next year in my succession gardening by planning properly to harvest things more evenly throughout the season.
Thank you again and again for your contribution to our physical and emotional wellbeing..."

"My three sons and I spent the entire day with Bryan building a vegetable garden bed for Mother's Day and it was a day like no other. Watching my sons follow Bryan's gentle guidance and coaching while they marvelled at what they created by the end of their time was such a beautiful experience for all of us. After all the hard work of mixing, tilling, building, and using their hands to connect with the earth, each of my sons and I planted some vegetables of our choice which we plan to tend to throughout the season. My sons have never been interested in gardening but Bryan was able to inspire them. It was such a gift to have this experience as a family and to connect with Mother Earth. Thank you Bryan for all of it! We hope to do more of this in the future."

"Bryan, thank you so very much for everything you have done to support my class this year. They (grades 1-3) have loved learning about our gardens with you!"
- Kristin

"I can personally attest to Bryan’s amazing work and knowledge – he has helped me begin the journey of successfully growing my own food. I take much ribbing for my kale consumption, but I can’t mention Bryan’s work without saying that the kale and lettuces he helped me to grow are by far the most flavourful and delicious I’ve ever had!"
- Colleen

“I bought 10 tomato plants from Backyard Groceries in 2014, and they proved the best I have ever grown. They were of various different varieties, many heritage types, and each did very well in my raised bed in Whitby, giving me bumper crops without the need to do anything more than water them. I have personally been working at the top of the horticulture industry in both the UK and Canada for the last 20 years, and I can say that Bryan’s plants were well priced and disease free, very impressive when you consider they are produced organically. I will definitely be buying from him again, and look forward to the fruits of my (not very much) labour in 2015 !”

"The sunflower kit you sold me has changed my daugther's life. Instead of eating popcorn she eats sunflower sprouts when watching movies."
- Eric, from a Seedy Saturday event

“Thank you for Bryan for this absolutely amazing massage I received. I felt my tensions disappear and my breathing become more fluid. The massage I received was progressive in order to be able to really work in depth on the ailments that I had been dragging around since I had my baby. I notice today that I stand straighter than before. At the end of the massage my sleep was more restorative. I recommend it to you with your eyes closed. He practices with devotion and intention most certainly the best massages I have received in my life. Too bad Bryan is so far away! "
- Anne Sophie

"I am feeling extra good today. My neck definitely is more open and I can handle the pain more gracefully. Using EFT I released the emotions of self pity and resentment that came up during our session

But the extraordinary thing is I began writing a new book. My reiki study. It us flowing out of me, remembrances coming easily. I have long thought of this, however today it clicked. Heavenly days!"
- Judith, Being MultiDimensional
***I highly recommend this energy training***

"I highly recommend Bryan’s Thai massage. They were amazing.

He was able to relax and get into parts of my body that have been clenched for years. The tremendous relief my body experienced was a miracle

The second massage was focused on my feet and legs. Wow. Invigorating and deep

He is dedicated, strong yet gentle, caring about me and my condition.

I highly recommend Bryan’s massage and presence."

TESTIMONIALS FOR PLANTAE CREAMS were lost in creating a new website. By far the most common feedback was how Sore Loser worked better than hoped and changed lives. Following that, there were also reviews for deodorant scents and the effectiveness of specific salves, one I remember was for relief from sinusitis.
