(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?) )

‘Grass’ – Animal Collective (2005)

The Grass family is massive! We use grasses for a vast range of things from food to construction, Bamboo’s are grasses as are Wheat and Sweetcorn. They have the most amazing flowers, so the next time you are lazing around in a field on a summers day, have a good old look at the grass your sitting on!

The Animal Collective are an amazingly eclectic band with a slightly psychadelic sound, this particular song is quite catchy.

What is your favourite grass?
