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?) )

‘Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush’ – Traffic (1969)

The Mulberry (Morus nigra) is a slow growing tree that produces scrumptious fruit which is used in wines, tarts and jams.

Traffic were a UK group best known for the 1960s psychedelic track ‘Hole in My Shoe’. Founder member Steve Winwood had a sizeable 1982 hit with ‘Valerie’ which was heavily sampled by Eric Prydz for the even more successful dance track ‘Call On Me’, you know, the one with that aerobics video.

We have Mulberry Trees growing in our Forest Garden at the Entrance to Eden and by the Core Building.
