Monty Don, the face of the popular BBC gardening program 'Gardeners' World' for over two decades, has confirmed he will be leaving the show. The presenter, who has become a staple of British television gardening, described his tenure as a 'deeply rewarding' experience. In his announcement, Don noted that he felt 'now is the right time for a change,' though he did not provide specific details regarding his future projects or a definitive end date for his final appearance.

Since taking on the role, Don has been credited with bringing a calm, reflective approach to gardening media, often filming segments from his own garden, Longmeadow. His departure marks a significant transition for the long-running series, which has aired since 1968. While the BBC has acknowledged his contribution to the program, there has been no immediate announcement regarding a permanent successor or the specific format changes that might follow his exit. The news has prompted widespread reaction from viewers who have followed his advice and horticultural insights for over 20 years.
