Fans of BBC’s Gardeners’ World were left heartbroken as presenter Monty Don confirmed the programme’s “last show” is “fast approaching”.
With new episodes coming to an end for 2025, enthusiasts are running out of time to catch the beloved gardening series, and even Monty appeared emotional in a photograph with his dog, Ned, taken in his garden shed.
The official Gardeners’ World social media account shared: “Our LAST show of the year is fast approaching! Don’t miss Monty and Ned as they get into the festive spirit tonight at 8pm on BBC Two, tomorrow at 10am or if you’re in Wales 8:15pm!” alongside a festive Father Christmas emoji.
Viewers flocked to express their sadness at the programme’s break until 2026.
One commented, “Looking forward to watching. We wish all the GW team and their adorable furry companions a very healthy and restful Christmas. Thanks for another year of gardening wisdom.”

Another admitted, “Not me crying because no more GW until 2026!”
While one viewer quipped, “Can’t wait, and then the TV goes back in the oak cabinet until GW returns in 2026. Make it soon if you can, please,” reports the Express.
“Thank you for the winter specials, they really helped stave off the winter blues,” added another supporter.
Fortunately, viewers won’t have to wait long for more Monty content. He’ll be back on BBC Two from Friday, January 16th, with a special new series – Monty Don’s Rhineland Gardens.
