Fans of the beloved BBC gardening show, Gardeners' World, have been buzzing with excitement after the announcement that the series will return to BBC screens earlier than planned. Following a typical three-month winter break, viewers can look forward to Monty Don hosting the new series from Longmeadow starting Friday, 13 March.
The show, renowned for its expert gardening tips and seasonal advice, has cultivated a passionate following over the years. It features Monty Don alongside other experts and gardening enthusiasts who share insights on plants, wildlife, and garden maintenance.
Accompanying the announcement was a charming photo of Monty and his golden retriever Ned, with a playful message: “Friday 13 March marks the start of our new series, and Ned just can’t wait! Is it a date?”

Fans took to social media to share their enthusiasm. One wrote, “Yippee. The TV will be wheeled out for that. Can’t wait.” Another called it “the very best hour of the week,” while a third described it as “such a lovely programme badly needed.” Parents chimed in as well, with one revealing, “It’s my 6-year-old son’s favourite show. We’ve been rewatching last year’s episodes to get ready!”
In the upcoming series, Monty will return to Longmeadow to prepare for spring. The previous season’s finale saw him protecting plants from winter’s chill, lifting dahlias, making leaf mould, potting tulips and wallflowers, and propagating herbaceous perennials by root cuttings.
Monty recently shared how shifts in climate patterns have affected his usual gardening schedule. Tasks that traditionally took place in January are now needing attention in December, illustrating the impact of changing weather on gardening routines. In his BBC Gardeners' World column, Monty humorously reflected on his adherence to the horticultural calendar while acknowledging the need to adapt to new conditions.
Though details about the upcoming episodes remain under wraps, last year’s spring return offered a glimpse of the show’s approach: potting plants for early blooms, relocating clematis, and sowing vegetables—all aimed at inspiring gardeners to get ready for the season ahead.
Gardeners' World continues to be a cherished source of gardening inspiration and expert advice, accessible on BBC iPlayer for viewers eager to reconnect with nature and cultivate their green spaces.
