Events Description
Fifty years after Mother Earth’s Plantasia first invited listeners to imagine music made for plants, Polaris is bringing the album back into the garden.
In celebration of the 2026 Polaris Festival, presented by SiriusXM Canada, Polaris brings to you Plantasia in the Gardens, an intimate listening experience marking the 50th anniversary of Mort Garson’s Mother Earth’s Plantasia.
Presented in partnership with Sacred Bones Records and Friends of Allan Gardens, the event brings Garson’s cult electronic album into the plant-filled environment of Allan Gardens for an evening of vinyl playback, deep listening, and conversation.
Released in 1976, Mother Earth’s Plantasia has spent five decades growing into something far bigger than its unusual origins. Created as “warm earth music for plants and the people who love them,” the album’s playful synthesizers, strange melodies, and imagined relationship between technology and plant life have continued to find new audiences across generations.
Now, 50 years later, Plantasia returns to a setting that feels made for it.
