Monty Don has presented his final episode of BBC's Gardeners' World after more than two decades. The 71-year-old signed off from Longmeadow garden, where the show has been based for 16 years, thanking viewers alongside his dog, Ned. During the episode, Don confirmed he will remain part of the presenting line-up for next year's Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show and will feature in two winter specials, which are expected to air between now and Christmas. Details of the next series of Gardeners' World will be announced at a later date.
Don replaced fellow TV gardener, Alan Titchmarsh, on the show at his predecessor's request in 2003, with previous television roles seeing him host shows such as Tomorrow's World, Holiday and a gardening segment on This Morning. The presenter took a three-year break from the programme after suffering a minor stroke in 2008, and the show moved to his private garden when he returned.
