We'll Miss You
Monty took the very hard decision this week to stand down as the main presenter of Gardeners' World. He has been our gardening leader for the past five years and while his decision to stand down is completely the right one, there is not one member of our team who will not miss him dreadfully.
From day one Monty has always been the voice of the viewer, making no secret of the fact that his huge gardening knowledge is self-taught. And that has always made him a very special presenter because we all know he talks from the heart, having gardened for real for over 30 years. He has made Berryfields his own and throughout his time on Gardeners' World he has fired our enthusiasm and brought home to all who work with him the pure joy of gardening. It's hard to imagine anyone taking Monty's place and as we continue to make Gardeners' World each week we hope that, Monty, you'll watch and let us know if we're keeping Berryfields on the right track. For us - Monty is still with us at the top of every programme - washing spades and dividing geraniums in our new titles - and for us there can be no better start for the nation's favourite gardening programme.
Much love Monty. Keep in touch.
