Show Notes
Clematis Queen Alla Olkhovska was on Gardeners' World 2025 episode 20 showing us her stunning collection of 140 different clematis which she grows in her garden, despite being at the centre of a war zone in Kharkiv, Ukraine. During this Chit-Chat we hear how Alla is handling relentless drone strikes and blackouts, her incredible family history through world wars, the October Revolution, exile to Siberia, the important role Linden Grove Gardens has played in their lives, especially when it comes to apples, and Alla's secret ingredient for successfully growing garden orchids.
