As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the world of gardening and culinary delights never ceases to amaze me. The recent events involving Monty Don and LL Cool J’s encounter in the horticultural realm are a testament to the unpredictable yet enchanting nature of these fields.


According to reports, LL Cool J pursued Gardeners’ World presenter Monty Don to request a selfie after they both made an appearance on BBC Breakfast on Monday.

56-year-old American rapper James Todd Smith (also known as LL Cool J) reportedly ran into a BBC gardening expert in the studio hallways at Salford and expressed his immense fandom.

According to The Mirror, presenter Nina Warhurst shared that she overhead in the office hallway LL Cool J and his group expressing their admiration for Monty Don and requesting a selfie.

Over the past few years, the long-time British gardening expert, now 69, has gained recognition in the United States following the launch of his TV show “American Gardens” in 2020.

According to reports, LL’s makeup artist enthusiastically spoke about their unexpected meeting and shared that Monty significantly influenced her life in a profound way, someone she had never anticipated crossing paths with. She expressed her gratitude towards her employer for facilitating the introduction.

It comes after Monty revealed the baffling reason he always wears a scarf on Gardeners’ World.

In an interview for the Gardeners’ World podcast, he explained to Nicki Chapman that he often wears a scarf while filming due to the fact that scenes are filmed out of order.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I find that when I mix with others, it’s the subtle details that often go unnoticed yet make a significant impact. For instance, if we happen to cross paths in a crowd, even if my overall outfit might not be perfect, if I’m wearing the same distinctive scarf, you tend to overlook minor discrepancies such as whether my shirt has a collar or not, or if it’s a slightly different shade of blue. It’s all about the little touches that tell a story and make an impression, don’t you agree?

20 years back, I learned an interesting observation: People tend to pay attention to items like hats, bags, or scarves when they see them.

He also revealed the shocking moment when he was hosed down by producers on BBC set.

Monty clarified: ‘During our shooting, it rained heavily causing the camera to get damp. Consequently, we needed to halt production, fortunately, the electronic parts remained undamaged.’

The team mentioned that they had initiated this shot but needed to complete it, so we readied the camera again, fetched a hose, and one person stood by to spray me with water for consistency purposes.

‘Otherwise I would have gone in wet and come out dry.’

Earlier, Monty had a change of heart regarding his conviction that homegrown vegetables are superior; he conceded that at times, store-bought vegetables can be equally delicious.

The gardener shared that he’s been growing vegetables ever since he was young, and over time, he’s consistently believed that homegrown produce is ‘superior’ to store-bought.

The TV star said the pleasure of growing his own produce, and eating it in season, will always remain ‘paramount’ – but admitted that sometimes, other people do just grow finer food.

The speaker openly acknowledged that approximately 25% of the vegetables he cultivates in his garden plot are discarded, and pondered about the frequency with which allotment-grown vegetables are consumed for genuine pleasure in the United Kingdom.

In an article for Gardeners’ World, Don mentioned that his homemade asparagus hasn’t been thriving as well over the last couple of years. However, he discovered that locally produced asparagus is equally delicious compared to what he grows at home.

He strongly emphasized that it contradicts every belief he has firmly held throughout his entire life.

‘I have blindly held to the belief that homegrown is always better than bought.’

But he clarified: ‘I am not abandoning that but modifying it a little.’

As a lifestyle enthusiast who’s been nurturing my green thumb since childhood, I can’t help but savor the delight of sauntering into my very own garden to pluck fresh, homegrown produce straight from the vine.
