Episode 21

Frances Tophill returns to Damson Farm in Bath and spends the day with owner Alison and a very special guest – Dame Mary Berry. Returning to the city where she grew up and went to school, Mary shares how the landscapes and countryside around Bath nurtured a lifelong love of gardening and the great outdoors.

Together, they share practical gardening advice and celebrate the very best of summer, harvesting homegrown fruit, vegetables and flowers at their seasonal peak.

Frances has advice on how to create a wild corner that's both beautiful and beneficial for wildlife while collecting seeds for future displays. Arit Anderson visits an inspiring urban edible garden in London, and there's a city gardener transforming a compact space into a thriving haven for wildlife.

Toby Buckland shares clever ways to extend the growing season and make the most of summer harvests, and in Birmingham, there's a visit to a predominantly Punjabi allotment community where growing exceptional produce is intertwined with family, culture and tradition, creating plots that are as productive as they are beautiful.
