Gardeners' World
Gardeners' World is a long-running British gardening programme, first broadcast on 5 January 1968. The 2025 series is the 56th. Its first series was presented by Ken Burras and came from Oxford Botanical Gardens. Up until 2020 most of its episodes have been 30 minutes in duration; however, this changed in spring 2020 when the format was extended to an hour. All episodes in the 2021 series onwards follow this 60-minute format. Gardeners' World currently airs between mid-March and late October on BBC Two every Friday. The programme usually takes a four-month winter break from November to February.
The programme's main presenter is currently Monty Don. Other regular presenters include Adam Frost, Frances Tophill, Joe Swift, Arit Anderson, Advolly Richmond, Nick Bailey, Carol Klein, Mark Lane and Rachel de Thame. The magazine BBC Gardeners' World is a tie-in to the programme.

Co-presenters have included: Arit Anderson, Nick Bailey, Chris Baines, JJ Chalmers, Nigel Colborn, Chris Beardshaw, Stefan Buczacki, Flo Headlam, Bob Flowerdew, Alys Fowler, Adam Frost, Diarmuid Gavin, Pippa Greenwood, Clay Jones, John Kelly, Sue Kent, Carol Klein, Roy Lancaster, Mark Lane, Rekha Mistry, Arthur Parkinson, Sarah Raven, Advolly Richmond, Liz Rigby, Rod and Rachel Saunders, Peter Seabrook, Gay Search, Geoffrey Smith, Mary Spiller, Joe Swift, Anne Swithinbank, Rachel de Thame, Frances Tophill, Christine Walkden, and Ali Ward.
Since its inception in 1968, the show was presented until 2003 from the lead presenter's own garden. In 2011, the show returned to this practice.
The 2010 show was returned to the original 30 minutes and several features of the 2009 series, such as the '30 second fix', were dropped. The show concentrated more on gardening content, reintroducing 'Jobs for the weekend' and focusing on plant species.
In March 2011, Monty Don returned as the main presenter of the programme.
In 2016 new executive producer Paolo Proto (previously producer of The Great British Bake Off) extended the programme from 30 minutes to one hour in September and October, also introducing new presenters Adam Frost, Frances Tophill, Nick Bailey, Nick Macer, Florence Headlam and Arit Anderson.
