Mary Reynolds telah merancang taman dan lanskap pemenang penghargaan di seluruh dunia. Ia adalah seorang aktivis alam dan desainer lanskap yang telah direformasi, karena, dalam kata-katanya, "Semuanya harus berubah. Termasuk saya." Bukunya, The Garden Awakening: Designs to Nurture Our Lands and Ourselves, adalah "panduan langkah demi langkah untuk menciptakan taman yang selaras dengan kekuatan hidup di bumi, yang tidak hanya membahas apa yang diinginkan oleh orang-orang yang mengelola tanah tetapi juga menanyakan apa yang diinginkan oleh tanah tersebut." Reynolds juga merupakan pendiri gerakan pengembalian taman internasional, 'We Are the Ark,' Ark merupakan singkatan dari Acts of Restorative Kindness. Karya inovatifnya mengajak orang-orang di seluruh dunia untuk mengubah taman mereka menjadi bagian dari ekosistem yang hidup dan saling terhubung. Ia berbagi lebih banyak hal dalam ceramahnya tahun 2016 ini.
