I found this site about Sonic Bloom. It's not a band. It's about music to grow plants!! "Inventor and agro-sonic researcher Dan Carlson, is the inventor of Sonic Bloom. This is a technology that combines the use of sound (in the range of birdsong frequencies) to open the stomata of plants with the application of an organic foliar nutrient to realize the plants' genetic potential. "
So, besides tools...I guess one must consider a soundtrack in the house for our plants to be more happy and grow more. What to you think?
I found another! It's a record from 1970 called Music to grow plants! George Milstein, a New York horticulturist, says, the record has ' a high frequency sound that blends right in with the music. I believe that the sound waves cause the plants to keep their pores open longer and wider, allowing a greater exchange with the air around them.' The record is orchestral sorta-funk lounge, the type used in movies and TV shows back in the 1970s. When the music stops you can listen to a certain "buzzzzz".
Hilarious episode Talking plants from MythBusters!! Their conclusion: music and talking are plausible helpers on plant's growth. Too funny! What do you think?

7. AN EXTRA QUESTION: Is there any botanical garden near your house? Have you ever visited it? How was it?
Jardim Botânico da Universidade de Coimbra
The Botanical Garden of Coimbra's University was created in 1772 and integrated in the Museum of Natural History instituted by the academic reform undertaken by the Marquis of Pombal. The area of the Garden, successively enlarged, now covers about 13.5 hectares. From the mid-1990s visible structural improvements have been introduced, notably: renovation of the garden beds, enlargement of the collections, partial reconstruction of the pathways, recovery, automation and restoration of the greenhouses, lakes, statues, masonry and architectural groups, railings and gates, nurseries and auxiliary facilities, among others. As a whole, the Garden is divided into two parts: the woods and the gardens arranged in three terraces forming an amphitheatre. There are in excess of 1,200 species, some of which rare and exotic, and which afford the visitors a true journey through the world flora.
