Monty Don has finally exposed the one area of his garden he can “never show on TV” to fans on social media. The BBC Gardeners’ World star, 70, took to Instagram today (January 30) with a series of photographs showing his own oasis, including a cosy grotto featuring stone steps and snowdrops lining the path.
He explained: “The snowdrops are always over by the time we start filming Gardeners’ World at the beginning of March, so I can never share them through the medium of television.” Fans soon rushed to the comments section, with one gushing: “You could do a special! Something like Let’s Tiptoe Through the Snowdrops!”
Another said: “That’s absolutely beautiful… that should still be shown on GW!”
While a third echoed: “You have to start filming GW earlier!”
Monty also showed a picture of some garden ornaments framed by shrubbery and wooden fences, captioning it: “Temporary barriers to stop Ned careering through the snowdrops in pursuit of a ball/frisbee/squirrel or simply the promise of all three.”
He wrote: “Peggy died yesterday. She was an old lady – a few weeks short of her 16th birthday – and went as she had lived, gently and without fuss.
Monty has two remaining dogs – Patti and Ned – and regularly shares adorable snaps of the pooches.
