- Posted on
Celebrate 50 years of Mother Earth's Plantasia with a special listening party at Stranger Than Paradise on Wednesday September 2, 2026.
Bring along your favourite houseplant and experience Mort Garson's beloved album as it was always intended, surrounded by plants. Every guest will receive a free plant marker to name their leafy companion and place it proudly in its pot. Then settle in for a full album playback in the company of fellow plant lovers. After all, Plantasia is music for plants and the people who love them.
Every attendee will be entered into a raffle to win a special anniversary prize bundle featuring a Plantasia tote bag, art print and a limited edition eco-green vinyl pressing of the album.

Released in 1976, Mother Earth's Plantasia found its greatest audience decades after its original release. Sacred Bones' 2019 reissue helped introduce Plantasia to a wider global audience, sparking a remarkable second life for Garson's unlikely masterpiece. What was once a strange artifact of 1970s plant-mania has become a beloved evergreen, rediscovered and re-embraced by a new generation of listeners and flourishing far beyond its original moment.
To mark the album's 50th anniversary, Sacred Bones is proud to present the first authorised eco-friendly edition of Plantasia. Pressed on 100% recycled eco-green vinyl and printed on 100% recycled paper. It is housed in a 100% recycled jacket, wrapped in bio-based shrinkwrap, and includes the original Mother Earth's Indoor Plant Care Booklet alongside a digital download presented on a real seed-paper card.
Half a century on, Plantasia continues to resonate - an enduring reminder of MortGarson's ability to make the synthetic feel strangely alive and the whimsical feel oddly profound.
