Mary Reynolds: Uamsho Wa Bustani

Sep 19, 2022

Mary Reynolds ameunda bustani na mandhari zilizoshinda tuzo kote ulimwenguni. Yeye ni mwanaharakati wa asili na mbuni wa mazingira aliyebadilishwa, kwa sababu, kwa maneno yake, "Kila kitu lazima kibadilike. Nikiwemo mimi." Kitabu chake, The Garden Awakening: Designs to Nurture Our Lands and Ourselves, ni "mwongozo wa hatua kwa hatua wa kuunda bustani kwa upatanifu na nguvu ya maisha duniani, ukishughulikia sio tu kile ambacho watu wanaosimamia ardhi wanataka lakini pia kuuliza ardhi inataka kuwa nini." Reynolds pia ndiye mwanzilishi wa harakati ya kimataifa ya kutengeneza upya bustani, 'Sisi Ndio Safina,' Sanduku linalosimama kwa Matendo ya Fadhili ya Kurudisha. Kazi yake kuu inawaalika watu kote ulimwenguni kubadilisha bustani zao kuwa sehemu ya maisha, na mfumo wa ikolojia uliounganishwa kwa kina. Anashiriki zaidi katika mazungumzo haya ya 2016.
