The title of Mary’s presentation is: “Guardians, not Gardeners.”
How gardeners and landscape designers are poised to be at the forefront of fighting the collapse of nature. ‘Letting Nature In’ – Listening to the rhythm of nature and capturing its essence in the designed landscape.
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, 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 reimagine our work as gardeners, to become leaders in the race to save our beautiful planet, to save ourselves.
