  • So sad to hear of Monty Don's stepping down. Of all the presenters, and I can remember them all, he is the most down to earth and most like us (no disrespect to the other fine presenters intended at all.) Monty emanates this sense of serenity, tranquility and sense of peace that is tangible both in his television work and in his writing, and this connects with the spiritual aspect of gardening, something that is so important to myself and I'm sure to many others. The actual physical doing things, even the most mundane and menial, can be so meaningful, theraputic and significant, and you really sense this with Monty. To me Monty is at the heart of the garden, may he make a complete, speedy recovery and be back to us very soon. With Best Wishes, Stephen Penney, Rooska, Sheep's Head, Co. Cork, Eire.
  • Thanks for everything Monty but you are absolutely correct in your decision. Enjoy spending more time with your family.Take good care of yourself.
  • I'd just like to say that Monty Don will be sadly missed by all. I wish him the quickest of recoveries and hope, some day soon, he will return to Gardeners World.
  • Sorry to hear about your recent health scare Monty.I dont think you will find it easy to do nothing but take care.
  • I just want to wish Monty well for a speedy recovery. I don't get to watch GW as often as I'd like, but am pleased to read that he will still be contributing to the magazine. Get Well Soon Monty.
  • A speedy recovery Monty. Just enjoy your own garden for a change.. let everyone else do the weeding!
  • Hey Monty,you're missed already. But it's good to hear you're back on your feet, in Hay there's a lot of us thinking of you, which is testament to your warm and natural character on screen. You've brought a whole new dimension and enthusiasm to gardening on TV. Sounds like you needed a breather, so carry on pottering and best wishes for a gentle recovery. And to Joe, Carol, Alyce and Rachel, keep it up guys you're a great team.
  • So sad you are leaving you are the reason i got into gardening you are a real inspiration and i thank you for the last five years
  • Very sad that Monty will not be doing Gardeners' World any more. I know that Monty's health is more important but we will miss him like mad and whoever replaces him is going to have a very hard act to follow; best of luck and take good care of your self Monty. Thank you for all the wonderful advice.
  • Friday nights will not be the same without monty x
