About Riordan Butler
I’m Riordan Butler-a speaker, musician, and sustainability advocate passionate about empowering people to reconnect with community, creativity, and the earth. Based on the Sunshine Coast, I draw on a diverse background in music, business, and regenerative living to inspire practical, positive change.
As the founder of My Veggie Patch and Ki Landscapes, I’ve helped individuals and families rediscover the value of growing their own food and creating beautiful, sustainable spaces. My journey began with a desire to make sustainability accessible and rewarding for everyone-whether through hands-on backyard food systems, innovative landscape design, or sharing stories and music that bring people together.
With experience spanning financial planning, business management, and community leadership, I bring a unique perspective to every project and event. I believe in leading by example: living ethically, regenerating the land, and involving my family in everything I do. My work is rooted in the belief that small, everyday actions can create lasting impact for our communities and the planet.
Whether I’m on stage, in the garden, or collaborating with local networks, my goal is simple-to help people grow, connect, and thrive.
