21 garden-themed songs to while away the hours

Remember all those years ago, when it was the done thing to make a mixtape or CD for your friend? We’ve come a long way since then, with the rise of streaming services - Spotify, Apple iTunes, Google Play Music and Amazon Music - which give you access to millions of songs for a monthly subscription fee. While the mixtape may be a thing of the past, having every single song at your fingertips has made it even easier to curate a playlist of your favourites, for each and every occasion.
