“In another life, I may have been a gardener.”

More than a memoir – this is a lifetime of gardening inspiration. Well-known and celebrated as a cookery writer and presenter, in My Gardening Life Mary Berry shares her second great love: gardening. From a passion that was sparked in her childhood as she helped her father in their vegetable patch, gardening has become a source of great joy to Mary.

• The gardens she has loved and tended
• The plants she loves to grow
