Toby Buckland has been named as the new host of BBC Two's Gardeners' World.
He will take over presenting chores from Monty Don, who stepped down from the show in May after suffering a minor stroke.
"To be asked to be the new presenter of Gardeners' World, following in the footsteps of greats such as Geoff Hamilton, Alan Titchmarsh and Monty Don, is a complete thrill and honour," said Buckland.
Buckland has previously presented gardening shows Gardeners' World Live, Home Front In The Garden and Real Wrecks for the BBC and RHS Garden Challenge and Weed It & Reap for UKTV Style.
