Monty Don has filmed his final Gardeners' World episode at Longmeadow. The crew has packed up for the last time.
Don announced in September that he would leave the show. He joined in 2003 and never looked back.
He said the current series would be his last. He called it the right time for a change.
He presented around 700 episodes. He is the show's longest-serving Head Gardener.
He started at Berryfields in Buckinghamshire. Since 2011, the show has come from his own garden, Longmeadow.
He took over from Alan Titchmarsh. After a minor stroke in 2008, he took a three-year break.
He posted a photo of the crew packing up in the Jewel Garden. Fans called it bittersweet.
He had a painful knee replacement. His dog Patti died. Another knee operation is expected in late 2027.
The BBC paid part of his two gardeners' wages since 2011. That money stops now, and he may have to let them go.
Bookmakers have changed the odds. Adam Frost and Frances Tophill are the names being tipped.
Don says he is not retiring. He has new books, BBC projects and his Instagram garden diary ahead.
Episode 30 airs tonight on BBC Two. He plants spring bulbs and clears the greenhouse for winter.
Get the full breakdown, key numbers, and what happens next.
