About This Event

Alongside her extraordinary career in food, Mary Berry reveals her second great love: gardening. A lifelong passion that began in childhood as she helped her father in their vegetable patch, it has remained a constant source of joy ever since. She shares seasonal wisdom, personal anecdotes and beautiful photographs from her own garden, reflecting on the pleasure of getting hands-on in her own plot. Mary also introduces her forthcoming cookbook full of recipes designed for ease, reliability and flavour, bringing together simple, stress-free dishes for every occasion. She is joined by comedian and former Great British Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc for a warm conversation filled with stories from a life spent between garden and kitchen.
