About Revive with Nature

Genna Patterson is the founder of Revive With Nature and a qualified Social and Therapeutic Horticulture Facilitator based in Wicklow.

​

After working in publishing in Dublin, Genna discovered the restorative power of gardening and nature while looking for ways to manage stress and reconnect with herself. What began with a few tomato seedlings and houseplants soon became a deep appreciation for the positive impact nature can have on wellbeing.

​

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Genna spent more time growing food and flowers, finding comfort and connection through gardening. Later, while navigating postnatal depression after becoming a mother, time in the garden became an important part of her healing journey. These experiences inspired her to train in Social and Therapeutic Horticulture and eventually create Revive With Nature.

​

Genna trained with Festina Lente and holds a QQI Level 6 qualification in Coaching with Distinction. She is Garda-vetted and insured.

​

Through Revive With Nature, Genna creates nature-based experiences that support social, emotional and mental wellbeing for both children and adults. She has worked with schools, nursing homes, disability services, homeschool groups, youth and community organisations, and private groups across Wicklow and Dublin.

​

Whether through nature play, seasonal workshops, therapeutic horticulture or simple moments outdoors, Genna believes nature offers meaningful opportunities for connection, creativity and wellbeing.
