Mary 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.
“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.”
ARK DESIGN
Mary does take on a few design projects every year.
Strong design CAN be combined with Arking.
Human requirements can be woven beautifully alongside native plant community restoration and wildlife supports.
If you have a project that you need design help with, please email Mary at info@marymary.ie and she will get back to you.
Signed copies of the book will be available again in our store in November 2023.
