The heartfelt post quickly amassed over 13,000 likes as Monty’s admirers valued his open expression of remembrance. This act of memory came shortly after Monty had opened up about handling grief and the comforting power of nature.
Appearing on BBC Radio 4, the green guru offered some touching insights into how gardening can be a balm for the soul, particularly during trying times.
He shared his heartfelt perspective: “One of the things that has always moved me, and this has often been said by people who are grieving, is that the rhythm of the seasons is a huge comforter.”
Touching on the hopefulness that comes with the changing seasons, he added, “In the bleakest midwinter, you trust that spring will come, that the blossom will appear.”
Delving deeper into the ebb and flow of tending to a garden, Monty Don underlined, “You sow a seed and you trust that it will flower. Now, sometimes it doesn’t. I mean everything is complicated and nothing is linear like that. But underneath it all, there is that rhythm of nature.”
Wrapping up his musings, the beloved gardener mused about our inherent need to feel part of the natural cycle: “And I think more than ever we need that. Everybody needs it always and always has done.”
