Gardeners’ World presenter Monty Don has marked 43 years of marriage to Sarah Don with a rare photograph from their younger days
The couple first met while studying at Cambridge University and married in 1983
Don has previously described Sarah’s crucial support during a severe period of depression following the collapse of their jewellery business
Her insistence that he seek medical help played an important part in his recovery
The pair have since built a family life around their shared garden, where both retain a veto over major decisions — a very sensible horticultural arrangement.
