Mary Reynolds projetou jardins e paisagens premiados em todo o mundo. Ela é uma ativista da natureza e paisagista reformada, porque, em suas palavras, "Tudo precisa mudar. Inclusive eu." Seu livro, "The Garden Awakening: Designs to Nurture Our Lands and Ourselves" (O Despertar do Jardim: Projetos para Nutrir Nossas Terras e a Nós Mesmos), é "um manual passo a passo para criar um jardim em harmonia com a força vital da Terra, abordando não apenas o que as pessoas responsáveis pela terra desejam, mas também questionando o que a terra deseja se tornar." Reynolds também é a fundadora do movimento internacional de renaturalização de jardins, "We Are the Ark" (Nós Somos a Arca), sendo "Arca" uma abreviação de "Atos de Bondade Restauradora". Seu trabalho inovador convida pessoas de todo o mundo a transformar seus jardins em parte de um ecossistema vivo e profundamente interconectado. Ela compartilha mais sobre isso nesta palestra de 2016.

Dear Mary, I just spent a lot of time after watching your inspiring video visiting your websites, especially WeAretheArk.org. What you said in this talk about feeling helpless in the face of so much corporate greed and inept (or worse) leadership hit home with me. I have asked repeatedly "what can *I* -- one person -- do?" and you have answered beautifully. Now I have a plan and a space I can nurture. The child analogy spoke to my heart. 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 family. I'm so grateful I was led to your video this morning. Thank you! With smiles and gratitude, ♥. Niki
