'Dare to Be Wild' by Vivienne De Courcy tells the inspiring true story of Mary Reynolds, a real-life Irish garden designer and environmentalist. This biographical drama explores Mary's journey to win the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show, one of the most renowned garden design competitions in the world. The film beautifully captures her determination, creativity, and deep connection to nature as she challenges the conventions of garden design.

Just as Spring is a season symbolizing renewal, growth, and the awakening of nature after the dormancy of winter, Mary Reynolds' passion for wild, untamed gardens aligns with the essence of this season. Her unconventional approach to design, which emphasizes the importance of biodiversity and sustainable, eco-friendly practices, mirrors the rejuvenation that spring brings to the natural world. Just as spring breathes new life into the environment, Mary's innovative designs breathe new life into traditional garden aesthetics.

'Dare to Be Wild' also serves as a reminder of the importance of reconnecting with the earth and nurturing the environment during the change of seasons. As Mary Reynolds challenges the norm as an advocate for wild, thriving gardens, the film encourages us to appreciate the beauty of nature in its most authentic form, to take action and to embark on a journey of renewal and growth by protecting and preserving the environment,
