Monty Don, a beloved star of BBC's Gardeners' World, has announced he's taking on a new project.

He revealed: "Just had confirmed that my new series Monty Don's Spanish Gardens will start to air on BBC Two at 8pm on Friday 23 February - two weeks' time." The gardening guru and his wife, Sarah Soneva Fushi, are teaming up for the new show. On his website, Monty shared more about the upcoming series, saying: "This was filmed last year when I spent seven weeks in Spain across April, May, June and October and covers over 40 different gardens right across Spain."

He added: "I found it an exhilarating and fascinating experience with stunning gardens and learned so much more about the country - despite having visited many times before as a tourist." Monty is one of the most popular faces on Gardeners' World.

One person commented: "Something rather lovely to brighten up the dark days of an English winter." Another added, "Looking forward to watching and being taken to the sunshine." A third said: "I have set a reminder on my phone, so look forward to this."

"That is such good news! A walk around some beautiful spanish gardens is most welcome right now," another fan shared. One more asked: "So excited for this. Mediterranean gardens are my favourite. Do you think you'll ever do a 'Mediterranean Climate Zone' focus, tying in some Australian and South American ideas too?"

"I'd also love to see if xeriscaping is feasible in the UK," they added.
