Monty Don dazzles Gardeners’ World fans with ‘breathtaking’ home transformation after break from show
MONTY Don stunned fans with his incredible garden transformation in his Herefordshire home, after his two week break from the BBC show.
The Gardeners’ World star, 68, showed off his amazing transformation of his sprawling Longmeadow garden, when he returned to the show on Friday.
While Brits are complaining about the rain in July, Monty is thankful as the consistent rain in the UK has ensured the greenery in his garden has flourished over the past month.
Before Friday’s episode aired, Monty took to social media to share a stunning snapshot of his evolving outdoor space.
It showcased a colourful array of plants and flowers.
He wrote in the caption: “Gardeners World tonight returns to Longmeadow after a four-week gap. The garden has changed!”
In the episode, Monty explained how much his garden has transformed.
He said: “We’ve been away for a few weeks and the garden has certainly moved into another stage.
“It’s been blissfully wet for the last three weeks now and that means everything has greened up. We haven’t got that arid desiccation that we had last summer.
“It’s entered a new season, we have a new palette, a new range of plants and these will last right into autumn. This is the time of year that Longmeadow revels in.”
Viewers rushed to comment about their admiration for Monty’s garden.
One said: “Your garden looked amazing on last night’s show, Monty – so vibrant and lush. A lovely show.”
Another wrote: “A lovely programme tonight, Longmeadow is looking beautiful Monty.”
Monty has lived in his Herefordshire home with his wife Sarah for over 30 years.
Before they moved in, the garden consisted of a two-acre abandoned field, with just one tree.
Monty revamped the land and created four separate spaces: The Cottage Garden, The Jewel Garden, The Paradise Garden and The Vegetable Garden.
Monty is regularly joined by his dogs, Nell, Patti and Ned, when working away in his garden.
Gardeners’ World is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
