A Look Back and Forward

“The best show on TV, wish they would run it every week all year round!”

The long-running series first aired in 1968 and has become a staple for gardening enthusiasts. Alongside Monty, the show features regular presenters such as Adam Frost, Frances Tophill, Joe Swift, Arit Anderson, Advolly Richmond, Nick Bailey, Carol Klein, Mark Lane, and Rachel de Thame.

Prior to this announcement, Monty had briefly paused the program last month to caution viewers about gardening practices as spring approached. During a recent feature, he showcased early-season produce, including rhubarb, while maintaining his garden. He shared insights on the cultivation of this vegetable, which he has grown for over 36 years, and also discussed the risks associated with rhubarb leaves.

Throughout the segment, Monty’s golden retriever, Ned, made a charming appearance, adding a personal touch to the gardening tips.

“I’ve been counting down the days. So glad you’re back.”

With spring just around the corner, the return of this beloved program signals the onset of a new gardening season, bringing joy and inspiration to enthusiasts across the globe.
