Friday fun – It’s Plant Records

(For a bit of fun, every Friday our Plant Records Manager, Chris Bisson, the guy who maintains all the recorded information on our plant collections, will do a regular blog slot where he recommends his favourite “plant records” – that is, songs that are in some way linked to a plant. (Do you see what we did there?) )

I heard it through the Grapevine
- by Creedence Clearwater Revival, originally Marvin Gaye

The Grape, Vitis vinifera, belongs to the Vitaceae Family which includes the Virginia Creeper and Cissus.

Globally over 6.5 million hectares are devoted to cultivating this brilliant plant. We have an entire area devoted to grapevines in the Mediterranean Biome. 

Although originally a more soulful number, Creedence give it a bit more oomph… which helps to get you going on these colder days!
