A gardener at this years Chelsea Flower Show has pinned his hopes of winning a prestigious gold medal on Led Zeppelin.

Mark Gregory has been playing riffs from the band’s classic hits in the build up to the festival – which opens in London tomorrow (May 20th).

Gregory said that ‘Whole Lotta Love’ and ‘Stairway To Heaven’ were “definitely helping" his plants.

“It is possible the vibrations make them feel better. They turned out fantastic,” the gardener told the Metro.

“It was like having my own little rock concert – the acoustics in the greenhouse were quite good.”

Since their reunion show in London last December, Led Zeppelin have found themselves capturing the hearts of new audiences – even ones with green fingers.
