Daring to be Wild: Mary Reynolds of 'We Are The Ark' on reWilding our lands and lives

How would our world feel if we let ourselves follow the wild dreams of our hopes?  And how can we reshape the land around us if we let it teach us.  Former garden designer and founder of "We are the Ark" (Acts of Regenerative Kindness) explores the wild dreaming of the land that brought her to a place where regeneration is the heart of all she does.

Mary Reynolds set her intent to win a gold medal at the Chelsea Flower show with her first (and only) exhibit. To do it, she created a wild garden that left visitors in tears for the lost memories of their youths... and she won her gold medal.  Her life since has been a long unfolding of dreams connecting her to the wild land of her Irish ancestors, deepening her experience and coming ever closer to the land.

With a raw humility and deep passion, she speaks here of her journey and of how we can join her mission to make of every garden an ARK.
