About Greg Willis

Greg Willis was born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in the Presbyterian and Quaker traditions of a family from the Midwest. He received an undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of Maryland in 1970 and a Masters in Health Care Administration from George Washington University in 1974. After a short career as a hospital administrator, he started his own construction company. When a back accident prevented him from continuing in the business, he began writing about his hobby, gardening.

After graduating from college, a deep interest in metaphysics and spiritual matters led him to investigate various religions and religious philosophies eventually guiding him to Self Realization Fellowship. This organization, which was started in 1920 by the great Indian Master and yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda, provided training in Kriya Yoga meditation techniques which Greg, now a Kriyaban (or Kriya yogi), has practiced for the past 18 years. He is a graduate of the Course in Intuitive Development offered by S.A.M., the Society for the Advancement of Mankind.

In 1986, Greg was awarded Second Place in Rodale’s Organic Gardening Magazine Gardener of the Year Contest. That same year he wrote and Published The Companion Planting Guide For Vegetable Gardens, the most complete and comprehensive guide to companion planting ever published in an easy-to-use chart. He continued to write articles for publication in various newspapers and in 1993, wrote The 1994 Astronomical Gardening Guide, published by Celestial Products, Inc. For this effort, he was presented with a Merit Award in the World Calendar Contest in 1994.

Since 1980, he has worked to remove the weaknesses of biodynamic agriculture, ultimately throwing out the name completely as it became apparent that biodynamics was a failed system. In doing so, he created Wholistic™ Agriculture, a much more accurate and advanced system of agriculture that more fully reflects and represents the work of Rudolf Steiner. He has created new remedies that will now cure every crop of every disease anywhere in the world.

Greg works as an agriculture consultant and writes and teaches about growing plants organically and spiritually through his business and system called GW Agriculture™. He lives in the Dallas area of Texas. He is the proud father of two sons.
