Gardener to Guardian, Rewilding the Nature Around You | WILD HOPE
Amid collapsing biodiversity worldwide, Mary Reynolds of Ireland is building a movement to turn gardeners into guardians of the planet by returning our own patch of land to nature, and by restoring hope that individual action can create lasting change.
As agricultural practices consume more land, and contribute to habitat losses globally, Mary stresses the importance of taking action on an individual basis. Nowhere is that easier to do than with your own land, by creating an ARK – Acts of Restorative Kindness. Mary reveals how to create one quickly and to let nature reap the rewards, something seen first-hand by former farmer-turned-nature preservationists Anita and Will Wheeler, who now host a plethora of native animals that thrive on their ARK.
The movement is growing, as Mary reaches a global community who want to rid themselves of the pristine expectations that gardens demand and bring in more life. It’s even taking root with younger generations. A visit to the Loreto school in Wexford County proves how even a small patch of land can not only restore a native community of plants, but also become a safe haven for students. “Patch by patch, we’ll get there” - Mary assures, “make a patchwork quilt of hope.”
