IT is a shame…

that Kate Bush’s Under the Ivy is not available on Spotify. I am putting together a gardening playlist and, to be honest, that song would have been perfect! The reason I am doing this is, back in June when Bush spoke with Woman’s Hour, she mentioned that she is gardening a lot now. Emma Barnett sort of asked what Bush is doing, with a view of seeing whether new music was coming. Bush was emphatic that gardening was her passion and that is what she is busy with. Bush has written about the garden and its beauty before. In fact, the second disc of her double album Aerial, A Sky of Honey, puts you in nature and the surroundings of an English country garden. Whether perfect for getting into the gardening mood, relaxing you, or provoking images of calm or inspiring moods, the songs below is a Kate Bush gardening playlist. Not that Bush listens to her own songs when gardening, but if you are a fan of hers, these songs can accompany you as you do your gardening! Take these with you when you are sat…
