Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on July 08, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Monty Don! May your day bloom brighter than the gardens you've lovingly nurtured on Gardeners' World. Your soothing voice and endless patience have inspired countless viewers to bravely tackle their unruly hedges and stubborn weeds—though few of us manage it with quite as much charm or style.

From guiding us through Lost Gardens to sharing wisdom in Real Gardens, you've cultivated a nation of green thumbs (and hopeful gardeners). Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, joy—and perhaps fewer slugs than usual. Keep planting seeds of inspiration; we promise we'll keep trying not to kill them!
