I would like to say how sorry i am to hear that Monty is unwell, and wish him a speedy recovery. My father suffered a stroke when he was 55 which affected his speech quite severely but over the years he has made a great improvement and he celebrates his 80th birthday in July of this year. Best wishes Denise
Hello, I don't know if this is the right place but our family send our warmest regards to Monty and his family and hope that he has a swift recovery. He will be missed. Although we don't personally know him we feel that we know all the people in the show as family. God bless
Get well soon Monty - Hope to see you on TV again soon you are an inspiration to gardeners and non gardeners alike. Who is going to take up the mantle - Chris Beardshaw, Carol Klein???
I am so sad that Monty has had to leave Gardeners' World. His approach to gardening has been most refreshing and I shall miss him. I hope his recovery continues.
Best wishes for a full recovery Monty Don. You have given us some very interesting TV programmes together with gardening tips in various magazines and books, and you certainly deserve to take it easy for as long as it takes.
My wife and I were totally shocked to hear about Monty's decision to step down from Gardeners' World; he will be sorely missed. But, he knows that with all us gardeners behind him, some of us having to use gardening in order to keep our bodies active due to our own health problems, he will return to good health and be back on our screens. Meanwhile we will enjoy his musings through his writings - best wishes, Monty!
I was so shocked to hear of Monty having a stroke and I would like to wish him well and hope we will see him back on the TV once he feels up to it. I'm hoping he will be able to do guest slots for Gardeners' World, maybe from his home. Monty you will be much missed by all, I love your friendly down to earth style. Speedy recovery
