Monty Don to step down from Gardeners' World after more than 20 years
He will leave at the end of the current series after 23 years, ending a run that included about 700 programmes, he said.
- Long-Serving presenter Monty Don announced on Tuesday he is stepping down from BBC Gardeners' World after 23 years, concluding his tenure as Head Gardener at the end of the current series.
- The show, which first aired on January 5, 1968, with inaugural presenter Ken Burras, has featured Don as its longest-serving Head Gardener since he began at Berryfields.
- Reflecting on his tenure, Don said, "I have decided that the current series of Gardeners' World is to be my last," noting he produced around 700 episodes sharing gardening passion globally.
- Don looks forward to "continuing to work with and for the BBC on other projects," intending to write more books and programmes while maintaining his personal garden at Longmeadow.
- Gardeners' World typically airs on BBC Two every Friday between mid-March and late October, taking a four-month winter break during which Don will continue gardening, "dog by side" at Longmeadow.
