  • So shocked to hear of Monty's illness, speedy recovery and best wishes to his family.
    Thanks very much for his knowledge and inspiration to all who watched GW. We would also like to thank Carol for her love of collecting seeds and propagating.
    Monty's style of gardening is in the same league as Geoff Hamilton.
    Please consider your choice of future presenter for GW, no showy personality. Let the plants speak for themselves and allow the novice gardeners like ourselves time to grow and mature.
  • I am 15yrs old and since I was little I have watched Gardeners' World. I have found that out of all of the presenters of GW, Monty Don has inspired me the most. He always has a smile on his face and always cheers me up on a Friday night. I have always loved gardening with the help of Monty.


    I am sure that all of the crew at GW will feel lost without Monty, and he will be missed dearly by the people who were inspired by him at his time in GW.I hope Monty makes a quick and speedy recovery and that he takes it easy from now on.
    Monty your the Best!!! :D xxx
    Best Wishes, Emily

  • sorry to hear about Monty's health wishing him and his family best wishes for a speedy recovery Grace and Eddie
  • Thank you for inspiring us to use and make our garden the best it can be. You showed my husband that the garden isn't just for me but he now fills the greenhouse and followed what you told us each week. We both don't care that we are just into our 30ies and we just love gardener' world - tv and magazine! Thank and best of health, you and your family must come first! You leave a very good team and great people to carry on your fabulous work! Thank you again!
  • Great Program last night 30th May tuned in to watch when I heard a new presenter had taken over really enjoyed the new presenters fresh positive attitude like the good old Titchmarsh days have not watched the program for last five years because of its often depressing and negative style.
  • Hi Monty, take your illness as a warning, take your docs advice and please come come back when your fit again, your an old 'hardy perennial' and tough as old boots, see you soon.
  • The last thing I heard was that Monty was "going away for a couple of weeks", and after coming back from a short vacation I read this. This comes as quite a shock on a quiet Saturday morning. I am relieved that Monty is making a good recovery, but my wife and I will miss him very much. Ever since getting a house with a garden, over ten years ago, we are viewers of Gardener's World and have been very inspired by Monhty's particular encouraging way of presenting and the very practical and doable advice he gives. I do hope that Monthy realises that his influence has gone way beyond the British Isles - and hope to get maybe some glimpses of him again.

    Monthy, take care. All the best wishes over overseas ;-)
  • My husband and I were shocked and saddened to hear the news about Monty on Friday evening. We have both been inspired by his passion and enthusiasm. We wish him a speedy recovery and early return to our television screens.
  • Wishing you a speedy recovery and the best for the future - and slow down!
