Mary Reynolds: Garden Awakening

By Mary Reynolds
Sep 19, 2022

Mary Reynoldsek saritutako lorategiak eta paisaiak diseinatu ditu mundu osoko. Naturaren aktibista eta paisaia-diseinatzaile eraberritua da, bere hitzetan, "Dena aldatu behar da. Ni barne". Bere liburua, The Garden Awakening: Designs to Nurture Our Lands and Ourselves, "lurraren bizi-indarrarekin bat datorren lorategi bat sortzeko urratsez urratseko eskuliburua da, lur-arduradunek nahi dutena ez ezik, lurra zer bihurtu nahi den ere galdetuz". Reynolds, gainera, lorategiak basoratzeko nazioarteko mugimenduaren sortzailea da, 'We Are the Ark', Ark, Acts of Restorative Kindness izenarekin. Bere lan aitzindariak mundu osoko jendea gonbidatzen du bere lorategiak ekosistema bizidun eta sakonki loturiko parte bihurtzera. 2016ko hitzaldi honetan gehiago partekatzen du.

My little one (inner child) cannot wait to take care of the space I've been given to care for until I return to the earth. I've recently begun this year rewilding with a patch of wildflowers. And I got to be part of a challenge on Kindspring.org that taught me a lot about helping creatures in the garden to thrive (much like you share on your "Extra Activities" page. Thank you!) The story of being lost in the field when you were little -- I have experienced this aliveness with nature as a child (and recently again) -- the deep connection. We really are ...
