The journey begins with Nessy Williamson’s contemplative “Foraging for Bilberries,” featuring poignant lyrics about Earth’s shared garden, followed by Kate Daisy Grant & Nick Pynn’s hawthorn tribute “Queen of May.” The first set weaves through In Gowan Ring’s springtime dandelion wine reverie, Gaia Raga’s Rumi-inspired celebration of spring, Trendafilka’s Latvian apple blossom song, experimental “Grains” by Russian artist Mecizand, and culminates with Nathan Currier’s peculiar love song to phytoplankton from his “Gaian Variations.” After the break, the program explores our relationship with green spaces through Sarina Partridge’s communion with moss, Yaima’s electronic “Greenbrier,” Peter Colclasure’s classical “Gardening,” Kim Thompsett’s mystical “Strange Garden,” Hex’s goddess-inspired “Gardener’s Prayer,” and concludes with Groundhogs’ 1970 anthem to rewilding, all celebrating our intricate relationship with plant consciousness across multiple musical genres.
