  • What sad, sad news you are a top man, a man of the soil and my Friday nights wont be the same some how. Not to diss any of the other presenters since the great, great G.H my true life gardening HERO & mentor but you always gave me the same passion and inspiration he did, you always seemed to be in touch with the soil and every living thing you touched including me, you spoke like a true gardener and I will miss you but I know that we will see you again I know we have never spoken & I've never had the good fortune to shake your hand (mud on please)but I do wish you a speedy return to your garden at home & to full health my very best regards martin
  • I was very sorry to hear that Monty Don is stepping down due to ill health, I would like to wish him well and a speedy recovery. I for one will miss him on Gardeners' World, all the presenters are great and I enjoy this show immensely
  • Dear Monty, I have have enjoyed watching all your programmes and all the information you have given. Hope you fill better soon and take it easy.
  • I am so sorry to have heard the recent news with regard to Monty Don having suffered a stroke. Monty has inspired me to become a better gardener along with many hundreds of others and I would like to wish him a speedy recovery and to tell him to be patient with himself and to try to enjoy his "gardening leave" because he will soon be back in action and wont have time to think. Kind wishes to Monty and his family and I look forward to seeing him again on t.v.in the near future.
  • A real loss. As a young (well relatively new gardener lets say) I thoroughly enjoyed watching the big guy on GW and was looking forward to continuing my apprenticeship with him and the rest of the team. Get well soon.
  • Friday evening will not be the same without Monty's presence in our sitting room. His calm yet enthusiastic approach to the presentation of the programme won our hearts. My husband and I wish him a speedy return to good health and thank him for the inspiring programmes we have watched.
  • Monty you will be sorely missed but wish you all the best with your recovery. Look forward to seeing on screen as soon as you are fit and well
  • I'd like to wish Monty a speedy recovery. I can't really be described as a keen gardener, but I found the work he did with the group of "naughty" young adults fascinating and humbling. Monty's commitment and determination to try his damned hardest in the face of adversity was inspiring stuff. I hope that spirit sees him through this setback quickly.
  • I was really sad to hear about Monty. What a shock to find that he had suffered a stroke... I had assumed his absence from G.W. was down to his filming on other B.B.C.projects. I really hope that he will eventually return to the programme as his comfortable manner and gardening know-how makes watching a real pleasure. Regarding a replacement... look no further than the brilliant Carol!

    The team of Carol and Joe can surely present the programme... I really like the new format with Joe's allotment and Carol's absolutely gorgeous garden. I would love to wander around it with her! Get well soon Monty... we all miss you!!!

  • Dear Monty, you will be greatly missed, but your health must come first.I hope you make a speedy recovery.God Bless and take care. One of your many fans...
