“Over the last few years I have had the privilege of not only working under Wally but learning from him as well. He put the grow on the right tracks and streamlined production of our product getting to the market in the most professional and sustainable way. He mentored me along the way and now I get to call myself ‘Operations Manager’. 
    “Wally encourages his colleagues to strive for greatness and teaches us how to do so along the way. There are no words to describe the value that he can bring to any job, company or project set in his path.”

“Wally is someone I always look forward to working with. He’s extremely knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about what he does. Whether it’s cultivation, processing and production, project development, or data analysis, Wally is your guy.
    “He’s a joy to be around and can make even the most boring task feel fulfilling. I have nothing but absolute respect for him and continue to use his practices to improve my daily work life.
    “Anyone who works alongside Wally would agree, that he’s a great asset to any company.”

"Wally came in as a consultant on a farm I worked on that was not doing well. In addition to bringing order to chaos with a professional yet affable demeanor, with his vast knowledge and experience he was able to maximize quality and yields while also reducing costs across the board. The lean method he implemented reduced re-work and cut back on labor waste. He was instrumental in streamlining all processes in the grow from propagation to post-harvest/processing. The knowledge I gained under Wally’s leadership has helped me become a more organized and knowledgeable grower and manager."

 “Working with Wally is a nonstop class on how to be your best. He brings a level of professionalism and commitment to the table that’s missing in the Cannabis industry. He is an excellent leader and teacher who can explain how to make informed decisions based on scientific data, not just feelings. He is a one stop shop for any project, problem or company. 
    “When Wally started here, I was IPM Lead with basic knowledge. He mentored me through general cultivation to Assistant Grower and up to Cultivation Ops. Management. He teaches and provides constant continual improvement, day over day.”

"The work relationship I have with GGC has been hands down the most productive, educational, efficient, and fun out of all the companies and individuals I have worked with in my 14 years of growing. It's been a very unique experience backed by years of scientific research and data gathering, with a constant drive to improve methods and procedures through meticulous R+D."

“Wally has been an incredible asset to our grow. Over the past year he helped us achieve healthier plants which produced a higher yield and flower with increased THC and terp percentages. He provided invaluable advice through the entire cycle including plant care, IPM and nutrients. He consistently made himself available, was professional and always a pleasure to work with. We most certainly benefitted from his expertise.”

“To work with Wally is both professional and fun. His dedication and love for science are infectious! He has the ability to break down complicated problems and ease in thoughtful solutions. Beyond that, he will inform the crew with diagrams, images, and colors. It then becomes easier to understand certain situations with visual aid and figures. The projects and tasks are outlined flawlessly. 
    “There is a standard and flow Wally brings to the table that is contagious. We, as a team, were able to complete tasks and check boxes with full force because of his presence and intention. 
    “Wally has been such a pleasure to work for and I am grateful to have learned through his teachings. His knowledge and understanding of the symbiotic relationships between the plants, soil, and microbiology have been fascinating to observe. I would love to work together again in the future and continue to acquire more of Wally’s knowledge and skill.”

"Wally is very reliable. He follows up when he says he will. Also, his decisions and recommendations are predicated on science, including botany and professional horticulture. It's obvious he strives to maintain a high standard of professionalism in a notoriously flakey industry. At our operation, his advice was based on his own personal experience and observable facts rather than hearsay and lore."

"In an industry fraught with disorganization and lack of training, working with Wally is like a breath of fresh air. His programs and schedules are perfectly organized, and there is never a question of whats happening and when. From scheduling, workflow planning and budgeting, everything was complete from day 1. 
    "Drawing from his background in soil science and a training in Lean methodology, Wally has the experience to educate others in a way that everyone can understand, and also the right temperament to get everyone on board with newer and more efficient methods. There is a popular phrase in the industry that sums up all you need to know about Green Garden Consulting: 'If you think it's expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur.'"

"Wally is one of the most thoughtful, well-informed and professional people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is a critical-thinking problem solver and makes educated, science-based decisions. He plans projects and tasks all the way through and sees the most efficient and practical way to complete them. He is great to work with whether as a peer or supervisor as he listens intently and communicates clearly and kindly. I truly miss working with him and hope one day we can be on the same team again."
