Good Luck Monty. I wish you all the best for your retirement from the Gardeners' World program on Friday evening. Hope your health improves soon. Don't dig so hard and let somebody else do the weeding, what ever weeds there may be!
Monty I will miss you. You were great on Gardeners' World. You inspired a man who disliked gardening last year to love it. Thank you for the inspiration. The programme will not be the same without your commanding presence get well soon.
My Friday nights will not be the same, you have really inspired me to try and turn my garden into something special, a work in progress. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours
I just want to wish Monty all the very best for a speedy recovery. I shall miss him very much on the gardening programme, he has helped me no end over the last 5 years, please get well soon Monty, from a more relaxed gardener.
As a relative new comer to gardening, Monty has been a true inspiration. Between him, the GW team and magazine, I am slowly learning and my garden is beginning to take shape - not to mention the allotment my husband and I have just acquired. I shall miss him dearly from my Friday evening gardening fix as I am sure many will. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope that he will be back soon.
When Alan Titchmarsh took over from Geoff Hamilton I wasn't sure that the programme would be the same and so too when Monty took over from Alan. Each made the programme his own. I have enjoyed watching Monty each week with his enthusiasm, and joy, always remembering the small gardener, the family gardener and the enthusiast who needs guidance. He will be sorely missed by us all and I wish him well with his recovery and look forward to seeing him again and reading his continued contributions to Gardeners World magazine. Get well soon Monty!
I first encountered Monty when art directing the Observer magazine in 2001; every week I looked forward to reading his copy and designing his pages. I found his writing absorbing and all things plants and gardening were made fascinating reading. Years later, Gardeners' World on a Friday evening became, for me, a TV 'must see'; a jewel in the generally crappy crown of television. I found Monty the most engaging and gifted of presenters, with an infectious enthusiasm and that rare ability to inspire his audience. I wish him well, and look forward to his return to my TV screen soonest.
Of all the great presenters and gardeners that have appeared on the Gardeners World series over the years, for me, no-one could replace Geoff Hamilton until Monty arrived. Now I'm miserable without his weekly visit into my living room and so look forward to having him back. Please get well very soon
I would just like to wish Monty all the very best and hope that he feeling a lot better. I have really enjoyed his being on Gardeners World and feel he made a really big contribution to the success of this programme.
