According to the Guardian, Monty Don has presented his last edition of Gardeners' World, concluding a television run that stretched, intermittently, over nearly 25 years. The programme, described by the Guardian as a farewell delivered poetically and with little fuss, follows Don as he walks deliberately around Longmeadow, his garden in autumn colours. He opens by welcoming viewers to a beautiful day, noting yellows and oranges have replaced the summer greens. Don reflects that winter is approaching, bringing change and loss ahead of eventual regrowth, and warns that frosts are not far away. The Guardian reported that, while he is speaking about gardens, the remarks also carry an implication about his own departure. The Guardian characterised the scene as idyllic, suggesting it represented the garden at its best before the colder season arrives.
