Monty Don Leaving Gardener’s World
This is a real shame - after suffering a minor stroke Monty has decided to hang up his gardening gloves at Berryfields. I for one am really going to miss seeing him on my screen, he has been an absolute inspiration as far as I’m concerned. I love his earthyness, he almost has a Buddhist monk-like sense of calm and connectiveness with nature. He made me understand why gardening was so important to me.
I sincerely hope to see him in other projects on our screens soon. Get well Monty, going to miss you!

I missed that. How sad. He seems like a dead nice guy, and his life history is extraordinary.

It is sad but I don’t think he’s been in good health for a while (I bought ‘growing out of trouble’ for myself at Christmas)
He use to live down the road to me when I was little (that’s my claim to fame) and I remember my mum spending HOURS talking to him when we were out walking dogs.
