Study Says Sound Waves Can Increase Plant Growth; CKCB Says to Plants: Hang on to Your Petals!

Petunias
Test Subjects, Not unlike the ones that will be at the Wallis House.

According to a study released in 2004 entitled, “Sound wave stimulation triggers the content change of the endogenous hormone of the Chrysanthemum mature callus,” (whew, what a title!) some very smart scientists actually determined that sound can make at least chrysanthemums grow. Just imagine what an entire band concert could do to the unsuspecting specimens!

Using a completely non-scientific method, the Central Kentucky Concert Band will see if these results can be replicated as the CKCB performs this Sunday, July 3rd, in Paris, Kentucky at the Wallis House (616 Pleasant Street)–home base of one of the band’s most beloved sponsors–the Garden Club of Kentucky. The experiment begins at 7:00 p.m. amid the beautiful gardens and grounds at the Wallis House and is free. The public is invited to bring some munchies and enjoy the show!

Casual dress. No lab coats required.
