Mary Reynolds

“I have come full circle with garden and landscape design. Now I want you to give any land under your care back to nature, to re-wild, to be ‘ARKed’ with Acts of Restorative Kindness to the earth.” Mary Reynolds, reformed landscape designer, guardian, founder of “We are the ARK”

Mary Reynolds lives and works in County Wexford on the farm where she grew up, where she has decided to give back most of the land to nature and grow food on the rest. This personal move is part of a wider movement she initiated, called ‘We are the ARK’, which she describes on https://wearetheark.org and in her latest book published by Timber Press in 2022.

I am grateful to Mary Reynolds for sharing some of her time with me. The conversation we had in April 2022 is now published as “A Conversation with Mary Reynolds” in Etudes irlandaises (Marie Mianowski, « A Conversation with Mary Reynolds », Études irlandaises, 47-2 | 2022, 133-141.) https://doi.org/10.4000/etudesirlandaises.13518
