This is a fantastic book... I absolutely love the way that [it] captures the spirituality of the land and the magic of nature.

The Garden Awakening re-awakens sweet memories of my childhood and a love for nature. Mary Reynolds book is like an inspirational 'clarion call' to all of us humans to reconnect again with nature, where many of us are caught and suffocate in a pressurized, exploitative, dysfunctional concrete jungle.

A new manifesto for working with nature, The Garden Awakening seeks to re-establish our vital link with the world they live in. Mary Reynolds knows there is more, much more, to the outdoors than pretty gardens and her new book sets to show how you can unlock nature's secrets by immersion in what's around you.

Jim Carroll, journalist, writer and broadcaster

Gifted with the Irish heritage of great story-telling, Mary weaves a fine tapestry of stories instilled with ancient druidic wisdom, which she offers helpful practical ways of applying in the modern world. The Garden Awakening is a truly wonderful and highly inspiring read.

Mary Reynolds weaves a wonderful tapestry in which the garden is not only a resilient, productive and healthy space that provides food, it is also a magical place of beauty, peace and inner nurture.

Mary Reynolds has been appointed a guide, something she possibly didn't ask for, but that's been bestowed upon her capable shoulders.... She connects back to a deep past, to a timeless growth and regrowth, to the natural, to the voices moving in the land, to a church not made by hands.
