Both of his paternal grandparents were Scottish, through whom he is descended from botanist George Don and the Keiller family of Dundee, inventors of a brand of marmalade in 1797. On his maternal side, he is descended from the Wyatt family, who were a prominent dynasty of architects. When Don was one, the family moved to Hertfordshire, England. He had a twin sister and three other siblings; his twin suffered a broken neck and blindness after a car crash at the age of 19. Don describes his parents as being “very strict”.

Don was the main presenter on BBC Two’s Gardeners’ World from 2003 to 2008 succeeding Alan Titchmarsh. He was the first self-taught horticulturist presenter in the show’s 36-year history, stepping down only after suffering a minor stroke. After viewing figures for Gardeners’ World fell below two million for the first time in 2009, in January 2010, changes were announced to the programme in an attempt to entice viewers back. In December 2010, it was announced that Don would be returning to the programme as lead presenter for the 2011 series, replacing Toby Buckland. Reaction to the announcement was divided on the programme’s blog. Since March 2011 he has been presenting the programme from his own garden, Longmeadow, in Herefordshire. He was frequently seen on screen with his golden retriever Nigel until the dog died in May 2020, shortly before his 12th birthday. In 2016 Don had also introduced viewers of Gardeners’ World to a new golden retriever called Nellie and in April 2020 introduced a Yorkshire terrier called Pattie.
He is a keen proponent of organic gardening and the practice of organic techniques often features in his published and broadcast work. The organic approach is most prominent in his 2003 book The Complete Gardener. This has led him into some controversy with those advocating non-organic techniques, with some criticising his position of influence presenting Gardeners’ World and exclusion of non-organic solutions to pests and diseases in the garden.
