“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.

In this deeply personal account, she reveals all that she has learned through a lifetime of growing, including:

• The gardens she has loved and tended
• The plants she loves to grow
• The people who have inspired and influenced her
• How she gardens through each season
• What gardening means to her

Full of anecdotes, pearls of wisdom, and beautiful photos of Mary’s own garden, My Gardening Life is a unique memoir told through the gardens Mary has loved.
