Monty has been an inpsiration both through this presenting of the wonderful Gardeners' World and his books. I wish him a full and speedy recovery and hope that he is able to share his enthusiasm and knowledge with us all in the not too distant future.
Will really miss Monty on Gardeners' World, hope he makes a full recovery, and thank him for all the hard work that he has put into the program, it's funny how with each presenter we take them to our hearts as they each have that something special to give. Kay
Very sorry to see you go Monty you are a down to earth gardener it was good to see a gardener who cared so much (not like other presenters who were all show) thanks for 5 good years also get rid of that awful music go back to the old theme thanks
I am sorry to hear of Monty's health scare, and feel he will be happy to know he's so fondly thought of. I had a scare myself a few years ago, not the same but equally life changing, my garden gave me so much comfort, just to be able to sit, listen to and watch the birds,contemplate over a cuppa, gave me so much joy it was the best medicine ever, and I know Monty will be "heeled" too by his own garden. Not everyone is given such a chance. I wish him, and his family,a lovely summer in their garden.
I would love to send a card to Monty, to wish him the very best and also to tell him how much I have like millions enjoyed his programmes, there is often a little gardener within trying to find a way out there and Monty is an inspiration. The fact he was not to be seen and heard at Chelsea Flower Show, made lot of people thought something was wrong with Monty, and sure enough it was revealed in the papers yesterday.
Please please get better Monty, rest and recover, with all good wishes, and great admiration for giving us so much of your knowledge and spirit
Monty was probably the singular most important person in getting me out into my small (and I mean small) plot to plant veggies! I wish him a speedy recovery and hope that he'll be back to continue being an inspiration to future gardeners.
Monty - all the best wishes for a speedy recovery. Time to slow things down and smell the flowers! Very much look forward to seeing you on our screens again when you have made a full recovery. Best wishes for a happy healthy summer.
It would be good if you were to set up a web site so your listeners could send on their good wishes to Monty. He has dedicated so much to this country horticulturally and the fantastic work he did with the drug offenders. Mostly with little rewards or thanks he just kept plodding on. If the world was full of people like Monty it would be a better place. Sad and shocked to hear what has happened. Please pass on my regards or e.mail.
Gardeners' World won't be the same without him, he brought such enthusiasm to the programme (along with his lovely voice!). I have met him a couple of times at GW Live and he was just as nice off screen as on, he even took the time to let my husband take a photo of him and me together. But his health and his family MUST come first. So put your feet up Monty and get well soon and I will look forward to seeing you on television again when you are better.
