Fans flock to tune in to hear all his latest tips and tricks week on week in order for them to attempt to replicate even just a small part of his stunningly extensive gardens.
Now the star is gearing up for a brand new career move that will take him away from the screens and much closer to his fans in real life.
Monty is preparing to head out on a nationwide tour in order to hand out his gardening tips in real life.
Not only that, he will be making a special appearance at the renowned Kew Gardens.

Confirming the news to his fans in an Instagram video, Monty said: "I will be appearing at Kew to talk about this garden that I've made over the last 30 years and the many gardens I've visited all round the world.
"Then in November, I shall be doing a tour, visiting towns and cities right across the UK and in Ireland.
"So, join me then and I very much hope to see you there!"
Monty will be appearing at 20 venues on the month-long tour but some fans have been left thoroughly disappointed at certain places being left off the touring list.

Many fans were left unhappy that he was appearing at just one venue in both Scotland and Ireland whilst major North East cities including Newcastle and Sunderland have seemingly been snubbed.
Hitting out underneath his post, one disgruntled fan said: "'ALL across the UK and Ireland'??? Just 1 event in Ireland and 1 in Scotland!! Hardly a fair balance 'across' all the countries."

Another added: "Why aren't you coming to Newcastle like, pet."
A third queried: "Do you have any more dates planned in the North? Newcastle or Sunderland would be great."
Whilst someone else expressed their shock that tickets for the only Irish date had sold out.
They expressed their disappointment by saying: "Dublin already sold out!!! Might you come back and do another date in Dublin..."
Before somebody pointed out in rage: "None in N. Ireland!"
However, it seemed that the star had an unlikely celeb pal in the form of Gemma Collins who had managed to bag herself some tickets.
The reality TV star took to the post to say: "CANT wait."
