Monty Don addresses his future on Gardeners' World

Monty Don has caused a frenzy in his Instagram comments section as he shared an impressive transformation. The 68-year-old Gardeners' World star shared what he has been up to in his spare time.

He shared a series of images showing an outdoor space lined with twig-like trees and a muddy field. As the images progressed so did the greenery.

The second snap showed mud still on the floor but the surrounding trees were bright green, and looking a lot healthier. In the third and final picture, grass had been laid and the trees had been trimmed showing off a beautiful summery space.

Monty captioned the Instagram post with a two-word final verdict as he wrote: "Transformation complete". Fans in the comments were delighted with the update from the horticulturist.

One user praised: "Phenomenal, what a lovely part of your garden such a change". Another added: "Looks great and your grandchildren will love running around here."

A third social media user wrote: "Now the grandchildren can go wild [clapping emojis]". Someone else said: "Wow! So satisfying to see it finished."

Monty recently shared some top tips to help his fans get their grass looking as lucious and green as his. In his recent July 2024 blog post, he mentioned that the summer brings warm nights and days that encourage robust growth of grass.

But he warned that grass-growers must be cautious when tending to their greenery. He advised that after trimming the grass, it is essential to remove all the clippings and not just leave them scattered.

The gardening expert explained: "All Spring-flowering bulbs should have completely died back so that long grass can be cut without affecting their display next year.

"At Longmeadow we often wait until August to do this because not all wild flowers have set seed, but by the end of July most wild flower meadows can be safely cut back.

"The important thing is to remove all the grass, raking up every last piece to compost so that it will not enrich the grass and thus limit next year’s wild flower display."

Elsewhere, according to Sir David Attenborough, the ideal date to cut your grass is fast approaching as he recommends waiting until July 15 - Although Gardeners’ World star Monty Don elects for June 21 as his chosen date.
