Gratitude to all Nature's Guardians who are restoring ecosystems, building wildlife habitats and growing some of their own food. One of the most powerful and practical things people can do to help #saveplanetearth is to restore their own land. 

Mary Reynolds designs ARKs. Acts of Restorative Kindness to the Earth.
Mary is a reformed internationally acclaimed landscape designer who launched her career at the Chelsea flower show in 2002, the story of which was made into a 2016 movie called 'Dare to be Wild'. Bestselling author, inspirational speaker, occasional television presenter and founder of the global movement 'We are the ARK', a practical groundswell movement that finally shifts the environmental game in nature’s favour. 

"The time for gardens as canvases for our creative pleasure is over. Everything must change and if we are to save the planet, then we must start with our own patches of it. It’s time to re-imagine our work as gardeners, to become leaders in the race to save our beautiful planet, to save ourselves." - Mary Reynolds

Mary was interviewed by Maddy Harland @maddyharland, Delvin and Grace Solkinson @visionary_permaculture at her home.
