Mary Berry swapped the caterpillar for flowers and shrubs today when she attended the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.

The beloved baker, 88, attended the festival’s press day near Richmond-Upon-Thames this afternoon along with other well-known names.

The Great British Bake Off star looked in her element as she browsed the various stalls and stopped to admire the flowers, including a colorful selection of roses.

For her day out, the baker wore an elegant floral-patterned blue daydress under a linen blazer.

Her silky white hair was styled in an evergreen bob that curled up at the ear, and the baker went for a glamorous daytime make-up

A touch of blush complimented her sunkissed complexion, while some eyeliner and mascara brought the drama to her eyes.

Mary toured the festival with the same interest she had for a signature challenge, admiring the beautiful flowers on display.

She paused to view a particularly delightful variety of shrub roses on display under the name “bring me sunshine.”

Mary wasn’t the only celebrity around. She was seen congratulating florists Imogen Perreau Callf, Emily Grayshaw and Jude Yeo, who all worked together on the America’s Wild garden.

Presented by Trailfinders and Visit The USA Show, their garden won the Best In Show Tudor Rose Award, Best Construction and a Gold Medal.

Elsewhere at the festival, Gloria Hunniford was spotted visiting the RHS Iconic Horticultural Hero Garden.

She joined designer, RHS ambassador and TV personality Carol Klein, who received the Iconic Horticultural Hero award.

Gloria and fellow presenter Gaby Roslin and Mark Lane also visited the RHS-BBC Morning Live budget-friendly feature Garden.

For her time at the festival, Gloria opted for a striking pink floral kimono that she wore over a black ensemble.

The festival’s press day was also attended by celebrity florist Orlando Hamilton, one of the florists who worked on the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 2011.

The festival opens to the public tomorrow and runs through Sunday, giving horticultural fans plenty of opportunity to admire the various displays.

Over the weekend, Mary was seen in a rare appearance with her husband, Paul Hunnings, whom she married in 1966, watching the Ashes’ Second Test at Lord’s.

The couple have two sons and a daughter together, but one of their sons was tragically killed in a car accident in 1989.

It may not have been the result the England cricket team was hoping for, but Mary looked cheerful in a floral blue dress, her hair neatly styled in her signature bob.

Former captain Michael Vaughan has again taken aim at England, stating that they ‘clearly like losing’ after giving up cheap wickets in the Ashes in another poor session.
