Mother Earth's Plantasia

The "Mother Earth" in the album's title refers to Lynn and Joel Rapp, a couple of fern correspondents who had authored plant care books and were friends of composer Mort Garson. The music on this album was composed specifically for plants to listen to. Garson was inspired by his wife, who grew many plants in their home. Garson used a Moog synthesizer to compose the album, the first album from the West Coast of the United States to be composed entirely on the Moog synthesizer. ==Legacy==

The album also gained popularity on YouTube, with the full album (uploaded without permission) gaining millions of views and thousands of comments spread over multiple different bootleg uploads. A cover of "Plantasia" was produced by Griffin McElroy for use in a 2017 episode of The Adventure Zone. In March 2019, Sacred Bones Records announced that they were officially reissuing ''Mother Earth's Plantasia. Stephen M. Deusner, writing for Pitchfork'', described it as perhaps Garson's "most beloved album, at least among crate-diggers and record collectors." In France from 2023, supermarket chain giant Intermarche used the same track in a long-running TV advert for their '10 per cent' sales campaign. The album was shortlisted for the Polaris Heritage Prize at the 2025 Polaris Music Prize. == Track listing ==
