Hearing another's passion for a plant, can leave us wanting to grow it and so we always learn how to do this. So whether your passion is for flowers, trees, shrubs, vegetables or houseplants - you will find a story in this podcast. Our Plant Stories is produced and presented by a former BBC Radio Producer: Sally Flatman.

To be a bit more precise since this is a podcast filled with plant stories, we are searching for Clematis 'Miriam Markham'. Our search will take us from a graveyard in Sussex to a gardener's cottage on the Gravetye estate where once thousands of clematis were being propagated by Miriam Markham's husband Ernest and the owner of the estate William Robinson. We piece together this story with thanks to Sam Fry, a gardener at Gravetye and Raymond Evison a multi-award winning clematis grower. They'll also teach us how to grow these plants. And we're asking you - have you seen Miriam? Can I share my plant story with you? YES PLEASE! I called this OUR Plant Stories for a reason and that is that I love to hear from listeners wherever you are in the world! You can email me Sally@ourplantstories.com and tell me your plant story. That's all you need to do - I'll do the rest. I'll work out who we can talk to. Can we find someone who shares your passion for the plant, they maybe in the same country as you or the other side of the world.
