Monty Don was left distraught last year when his beloved pet, Nigel, the golden retriever passed away. In an old book written by The Gardeners’ World presenter, he opened up about the time he and his son went to visit the dog for the very first time. Monty also told the tale of how they chose Nigel out of all his brothers and sisters to be the newest member of his family, as well as how they came to agree on the name. But what fans of the horticulturist may not know, is the family’s nickname for the animal.
