A HEREFORDSHIRE television personality is to appear at a special event next month.

Renowned gardener Monty Don will be interviewed by fellow Herefordian and BBC Bargain Hunt star Kate Bliss, talking about his life and career.

The fundraiser for St Michael's Hospice will also feature a question-and-answer session with Mr Don, followed by an auction.

And now the hospice has told fans of Monty Don that it is their "last chance" to buy tickets.

The event will take place on Thursday, May 5 at Brinsop Court, near Hereford.

On Monday morning, St Michael's Hospice said: "You’ll have to be quick to snap up our final few tickets to spend the evening with TV gardening guru Monty Don.

"Monty will be in conversation with fellow Herefordshire TV star Kate Bliss in the beautiful surrounds of the Knot Barn at Brinsop Court."

Monty Don has had an extensive career in broadcasting, making television programmes for over twenty years on a range of topics, spanning travel, outdoor living and, principally, gardening.

He has been the lead presenter of Gardeners' World since 2003 and his own garden, Longmeadow, in Herefordshire has featured heavily in the programme since 2011.

A recent series saw him travelling to the Adriatic coast, exploring gardens in Venice, Croatia and Greece in a three-part series called Monty Don's Adriatic Gardens, which aired in January on BBC Two.
