  • It came as a great shock, and much sadness, to hear Monty is to stand down from GW. He has done a great job over the past five years, and I thoroughly enjoyed his series "around the world in 80 gardens". I was particularly sorry to hear that Monty has not been well, and do wish him well, very soon. I will look forward to seeing back on our screens asap.
    best wishes and get well soon Monty
  • Get Well Soon Monty. Put your spade down and watch the flowers grow for a while.
  • It's sad news regarding Monty Don's decision to stand down but his health and family come first. Let's hope it won't be too long before he is back on our screens again. He has influenced and inspired so many of us to take up and enjoy gardening in whatever form this happens, and for this I say thank you to Monty.
  • We have always watched with great interest in all of your T.V.shows. We have put all of your advice into practice with great results at all times.
    Many, many thanks for all your advice over the years. We wish you a speedy recovery & look forward to seeing you soon on T.V. again.
  • Sad news indeed. I was diagnosed with MS earlier this year and understand his dilemma. Gardening goes from being a pleasure to something to be approached with caution. Limits have to be reassessed but Monty is taking the sensible path. My best wishes for his future health.
  • Really sorry to hear of Monty's health problems. His down-to-earth style gives me great confidence to try out some of the projects seen in my own garden. Hope he will fully recover and feel able to once again do the work he so obviously gains so much enjoyment from.
  • Very sad to here Monty is standing down but wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.look forward to seeing him in new ventures soon.
  • Good luck & good health to Monty who was my main inspiration to finally start veg gardening, 3 years ago, at 49 years old (no time & no room before!)here in Britanny! His passion is contagious. Here's to his speedy recovery & thus return to our screens.
  • I was saddened to hear that that Monty Don has decided to cut back on Gardeners' World. I was sad to hear that his health has not been 100% but we wish him well and his family, when we lost Geoff Hamilton I thought no-one could replace him and then along came the smiling Alan Titmarsh and then he went on to do other things, it took me a while to get used to Monty but I loved his style and I will miss him not being front man of gardeners world but we wish him well and look forward to seeing him back in our living rooms as soon as he well enough
  • I am sorry to see Monty go, and wish him well.
    I hope the BBC will appoint a new presenter soon, I hope that we might get Carol Kline she has so much to offer new gardeners and established gardeners alike, her enthusiasm is so infectious she can't fail to encourage lots of new people to the wonderful world of gardening.
