Mary Reynolds telah mereka bentuk taman dan landskap yang memenangi anugerah di seluruh dunia. Dia seorang aktivis alam semula jadi dan pereka landskap yang telah diperbaharui, kerana, dalam kata-katanya, "Semuanya mesti berubah. Termasuk saya." Bukunya, The Garden Awakening: Designs to Nurture Our Lands and Ourselves, ialah "manual langkah demi langkah untuk mencipta taman yang selaras dengan daya hidup di bumi, bukan sahaja menangani perkara yang dikehendaki oleh orang yang bertanggungjawab ke atas tanah itu tetapi juga bertanyakan apa yang tanah itu mahu menjadi." Reynolds juga merupakan pengasas gerakan penggulungan semula taman antarabangsa, 'We Are the Ark', yang bermaksud Acts of Restorative Kindness. Kerja terobosan beliau menjemput orang ramai di seluruh dunia untuk mengubah taman mereka menjadi sebahagian daripada kehidupan dan ekosistem yang saling berkait rapat. Beliau berkongsi lebih banyak dalam ceramah ini dari 2016.
