The horticulturist joined the programme in 2003 and across his tenure has inspired and guided millions of viewers with his warmth, wisdom and passion for gardening.
"Throughout that time - and around seven hundred programmes - I have had the privilege of sharing my own abiding passion for gardens and gardening with an equally passionate, and often equally knowledgeable audience.
The presenter said he feels as though "now is the right time for a change" and looks forward to working with and for the BBC on other projects, in addition to new "avenues".
"There are more books to write, more programmes to make," he said. "And of course, I will still be gardening, dog by side, here at Longmeadow."
Kate Phillips, BBC’s chief content officer commented: "Monty’s decision to leave Gardeners World is one I respect, but I’m still very sad he’s leaving. Monty is utterly unique, a wonderfully engaging broadcaster with a soothing, calm presence who has inspired so many with his passion for gardening.
"I would like to thank Monty personally for his honesty and kindness which has seen him open-up about his own personal struggles and the power of the natural world to improve mental health. We will miss him on the show hugely. Monty will be presenting BBC Gardeners World from his beautiful LongMeadow gardens until the end of the year, and I look forward to working with him on the BBC on future projects."
"I have seen first-hand the care, integrity and generosity he brings to everything he does. His departure marks the end of a remarkable chapter in the programme’s history. All of us on the Gardeners’ World team, will miss him enormously, but we celebrate everything he has given to the programme, the gardening community and the audience who have welcomed him into their homes every week for over two decades."
Gardeners' World continues on Friday 11 September on BBC Two.
