"In another life, I may have been a gardener."

Well-known and loved as a cookbook writer and presenter, My Gardening Life is Mary Berry’s deeply personal account of the second great love of her life: gardening. She shares her love of growing plants, visiting gardens, and getting hands-on in her own plot.

A passion that was sparked in her childhood while gardening with her father, Mary has been fortunate to meet many inspirational and knowledgeable horticulturalists throughout her life. 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.

As well as Mary's first-hand commentary, she also explains the vital role that being outside, connecting with nature, and celebrating the seasons has played in her life for 90 years. From times of personal solace to times of celebration, moments of sheer joy to gardening frustrations, Mary reveals her deep love of plants and gardens.
Bestselling cookery writer and TV star cook, Dame Mary has written over 80 cookbooks, including the classic Mary Berry’s Complete Cookbook (DK, 2017) which has sold over 1.5 million copies internationally. Her career began when she developed a passion for domestic science at school and she went on to train at the Cordon Bleu in Paris. In 2020, Mary received the honour of Damehood in the Queen’s birthday honours. She has been an Ambassador for the Royal Horticultural Society since 2014 and is President Emeritus of the National Garden Scheme.
Cordon Bleu trained in Paris, Mary began her career as a magazine cookery editor before publishing her first cookery book in 1966. In 2009, Mary was awarded the highly coveted Guild of Food Writers Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2012 she was made a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list. View titles by Mary Berry
