One wrote: “Condolences Monty. A beautiful picture for your friend.” Another added: “My sincere condolences to you, family and friends of those she touched in life. May loving memories give solace.”
The presenter has previously revealed he finds “huge comfort” in nature during times of sorrow. In a recent BBC Radio 4 interview, he discussed the therapeutic power of gardening.
The rhythm of the seasons is a great comforter, he explained, and this has frequently been said by those who are grieving.
You can count on spring to arrive in the bleakest midwinter, and blossom to bloom. You have faith in a seed you sow, and it will bloom. Everything is complicated, and nothing is linear, as some people claim. But there is a rhythmic nature within it all.
We need that more than ever. Everyone needs it, and they have done it always.
Monty announced on his social media account on Monday that he had performed at his final stop on his grand tour. He had been hosting An Audience with Monty Don shows that ran over the weekend, which started on November 1.
Due to illness, the star had to cancel his Cornwall shows back in November. When he fell ill and was rushed to A&, E, the broadcaster was scheduled to speak in Exeter, Truro, Bath, and Nottingham.
Monty explained his absence to his 1.3 million followers on Instagram on November 26. He and his beloved dog Ned can be seen together at home in the video.
He remarked to the audience, “Hello. I regret so much for the many people who planned to see me in Exeter, Truro, Bath, and Nottingham.
However, I was taken to A and E on Friday afternoon, and I was then kept there over Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, where I received drips and other treatments.
He continued, “But I came home last night and feel much better.” I’ll be spending the next few days relaxing at home, and hopefully by weekend I’ll be back in top shape.
