Time of Gifts Calendar: Day 22: Eden’s favourite plant records
December 22, 2010
Author: Dan
As you wind down for Christmas, tune into this bumper harvest of Eden’s ‘plant records’ – songs we’ve chosen which are all in some way linked to a plant. These are rich pickings from Eden’s Chris Bisson, the guy who maintains all the recorded information on Eden’s plant collection and who, in a regular blog slot, recommends his favourite “plant records” .
We’ve collected together all the plant records for the last year in two fabulous playlists, where you can hear the collection in full.
Listen to plant records on Grooveshark

Or you can open the blogposts one by one, watch the video and read Chris’s original commentary, below.
