Mother Earth's Plantasia

Inspired by the book The Secret Life Of Plants, and in particular the science that proved "beyond any doubt that harmonic sound waves affect the growth, flowering and seed yield of plants", Plantasia was composed to help your plants grow.


The album was released in 1976 and given away for free when you bought a plant from Mother Earth plant shop in LA (or, for some reason, when you bought a mattress from Sears) and has since achieved cult status. It's easy to see why - full of delightful melodies all played by Mort Garson on a Moog synthesiser, it has aged surprisingly well.


Now available officially for the the first time since 1976, it has been pressed on vinyl in a variety of different greens and comes with a replica of the original plant care guide booklet that explains how your plants will benefit from each track. It also has an innovative download card, which is embedded in wildflower seeds so you can plant it once you've downloaded a digital copy of the album.


I'm using the music right now to keep our aspidistra happy. Gronda Gronda.
