All3Media International’s FAST channel Gardening with Monty Don has landed on Plex, Tubi and Xumo Play in North America.

The channel features content with horticulturalist, writer and broadcaster Monty Don, including new compilation episodes created specifically for the channel, bringing together clips from Gardeners’ World; My Dream Farm; and Big Dreams, Small Spaces. The channel originally launched in North America on The Roku Channel.

All3Media International works directly with Don and producer Alexandra Henderson on Gardening with Monty Don.

Additionally, to celebrate the coronation of King Charles in May, Henderson and the All3Media International team have created a unique compilation featuring King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla with Don at Highgrove House, the royal couple’s country home, and Longmeadow, Don’s own garden. It will air over the coronation weekend across America.

Gary Woolf, executive VP of strategic development at All3Media International, said, “We’re delighted to be working with Monty and Alexandra on this new channel dedicated to his gardening talent and securing a growing footprint across North America, offering a fantastic opportunity to expand Monty’s U.S. fan base even further. FAST channels hold great potential to maximize catalog value for producers, and we have ambitious plans this year both for our existing channels and for a raft of new genre-dedicated and single-IP channels. What remains key to us is ensuring these channels deliver a really engaging viewing experience by working with our producers—particularly on single-IP channels—to dive deep into a brand and offer something that will appeal to newcomers, fans and superfans alike.”

Henderson added, “It’s wonderful to be working with the digital team at All3Media International to create this new home for all of Monty Don’s programmes and series. This new channel offers the perfect viewing destination for garden enthusiasts. New viewers will be able to enjoy the delights of Monty’s own garden as shown on his regular BBC program Gardeners’ World, as well as his travel series where he explores what makes each country unique as seen through their gardens and parks, and fans of Monty’s shows will be able to brush up on tips as well as finding inspiration as they prepare their own gardens for each new season. As the popularity and reach of FAST channels continue to grow, we look forward to seeing Gardening with Monty Don heading to more new platforms so it can be enjoyed by garden lovers all over the world.”
