Throughout Mary Berry's life, the garden has played a charming role, from her wartime childhood plot to a brand-new garden started in her 80s - it’s an essential ingredient in her life.
This week on ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ Mary kindly joins us to explore a lifetime of gardening, how it’s inspired her new book, and how gardening can bring joy, structure and wellbeing at every stage of life.
In this episode, discover:
• How Mary’s lifelong love of gardening began in her childhood and continues to shape her daily life
• Practical, gentle tips for spring gardening and successional planting
• How Mary approaches designing and maintaining a garden later in life, using evergreens, hedges and topiary for structure
• Everyday good habits in the garden, such as watering, deadheading, and keeping lawns neat
