How to become guardians: Why healing the land can heal our hearts - Mary Reynolds

This week's show is with Mary Reynolds. Mary Reynolds is an accomplished landscape designer who gained international recognition after debuting at the Chelsea flower show in 2002. Her inspiring story was featured in the 2016 film "Dare to be Wild". In addition to being a bestselling author and occasional television presenter, she also founded "We are the ARK", a global movement aimed at promoting practical solutions for preserving the environment. Mary is also an advocate for safe and sustainable food production, and actively campaigns against harmful practices such as the use of pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, and fossil fuels. Despite her many accomplishments, Mary remains humble and is known to dabble in cooking. In this conversation, Mary and I explored the arking movement, why she sees its so necessary, what can get in the way of us going from gardeners to guardians, the small changes we can all make to be part of healing the land, and how ultimately it's healing ourselves. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group. What you'll learn from this episode: Arking is something tangible and accessible that we can all do in some way, rather than waiting for someone or something else to create the solution, and if enoigh of us do it it could create a tipping point in consciousness As we support the land to heal, it will provide a reflection of and support our own healing in ways that are truly magical We can begin small and simply by stopping the use of chemicals, creating small passageways between our garden and surrounding land, turning land back to nature, removing non-native species, and watching and waiting.
