The horticulturist, who joined the programme in 2003 and has entertained and inspired millions of viewers with his gardening passion, announced last month that he would be leaving the show.
"The commute is delightfully short, but when I go home I take the job with me, seven days a week, 24 hours a day," he said.
He continued: "Then, one day this summer, I woke up and knew it was time to stop. Simple as that. They say of sportspeople wondering when to retire, 'You just know. Well, I just knew."
"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 added that he thinks "now is the right time for a change" and looks forward to working on other BBC projects, as well as 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, added that she was "very sad he’s leaving", thanking him "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".
