| Once in a while you come across a great idea that happens to coincide with the direction communities are taking. The Cityfood Growers website is one such idea. It is a simple concept wonderfully put together with a phenomenal array of creative and common sense sets of information for those who want to produce food in their own backyard. Not only is the content first class but the connectedness of the site and its ease of use are of the highest order. The Cityfood Growers site will add tremendous value to people's lives and also to the sustainability of our communities. Congratulations to Peter Kearney on a wonderful contribution to a more liveable society. Howard Nielsen, Sustainability Advocate and Co-ordinator of the Cooee Network. Australia |
| Thanks for running the workshop - I found it very informative and useful. Seeing your garden(s) has made the information on your website make much more sense and brings to life the concepts you have introduced. The ambience of your property is so peaceful and meditative that it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon thinking and talking about growing things! And wonderful to share ideas with other people equally interested in the mysteries of biodynamics! Cheers, Jane, Samford, Australia |

The Cityfood Growers web site is full of interesting facts and has proven itself useful in many ways as a resource for those interested in gardening and community connection. The site has a planting guide second to none and is useful to ensure you are right on with your planting and preparation. Peter has done a great job with putting this excellent resource together in a way that is easy to maneuver around and to use as a companion to aid and deliver the best results possible for our gardening endeavors. Well done Peter. |

The Cityfood Growers website takes the guesswork out of vegetable gardening, whether you’re a beginner or competent gardener, there is something for everyone to discover and learn here. Even more inspiring was having Peter guide our Permaculture group through this comprehensive website knowing that he is passionate about growing good healthy organic produce and that he ‘practices what he preaches’. As we are about to start our community garden such a tool as the Cityfood Growers website will be invaluable in many ways and I know that we will be referring to it often. Tammy Holland, Caboolture Permaculture Group
The Cityfood Growers website has been comprehensively thought out and user friendly for a huge range of gardening needs. And then there is the framework to trade fresh produce - how good is that? Well done Peter! Brian Keats, Astro Calendar and Mullumbimby Biodynamic Group
In the few days I have been a member the amount of practical information and ease of access to this information has impressed me greatly. I look forward to engaging in a dialogue with other members, sharing experiences and learning about more effective ways to grow healthy, nutritious food for our table while maintaining vibrant soils. Many thanks to Peter for creating this wonderful site. Rob Hepburn, Camp Mountain, Australia
The Cityfood Growers website is one of the most impressive sites I have encountered. The geographic specific detail eliminates many mistakes home gardeners make in planting the wrong plant in the wrong zone. The information on the growing requirements of specific crops is excellent as is the non-chemical pest control advice. The City Food Grower website is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to grow their own produce. Mary Trigger, CEO, Sustainable Gardening Australia The Cityfood Growers web site is a treasure trove of useful organic gardening information. Scarlett Patrick, Brisbane City Council

Thanks again for the Biodynamic Gardening workshop yesterday. I very much enjoyed it and got a lot from it - particularly the hands-on parts which really helped cement the theory into my mind. I am converted and am busy sharing all the information with my husband. It's given me a new, more positive, and infinitely simpler, perspective on my garden. Alexis Vayro, Brisbane |
This site is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for for a while now. All the information on planting times, companion planting for the wide varitey of plants on the site will be a well used and valuable resource for me. This along with the potential to contact other local growers and information on biodynamic processes makes it the perfect site for me. Daniel Hutchins, Wellington, NZ |
We just used the calendar search today and last week with some interns to plant crops in our demonstration garden. It was extremely helpful. Thea Carlson, Angelic Organics farm and learning centre, Illinois, USA |
