Sep 19, 2022

Mary Reynolds hefur hannað margverðlaunaða garða og landslag um allan heim. Hún er náttúruverndarsinni og endurbættur landslagshönnuður, því, með orðum hennar, "Allt verður að breytast. Þar á meðal ég." Bókin hennar, The Garden Awakening: Designs to Nurture Our Lands and Ourselves, er „skref-fyrir-skref handbók til að búa til garð í samræmi við lífskraftinn í jörðinni, þar sem hún fjallar ekki aðeins um það sem fólkið sem stjórnar landinu vill heldur einnig að spyrja hvað landið vill verða. Reynolds er einnig stofnandi alþjóðlegu garðræktarhreyfingarinnar 'We Are the Ark', örk sem stendur fyrir Acts of Restorative Kindness. Byltingarkennd verk hennar býður fólki um allan heim að umbreyta görðum sínum í hluti af lifandi og djúpt samtengdu vistkerfi. Hún deilir meira í þessu erindi frá 2016.
