EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1992, we are transported to the enchanting world of the Garden Show in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image captures a delightful moment between two remarkable women who have dedicated their lives to nurturing nature's beauty. Val Strout, the esteemed chair of the Lostwithiel Garden Society, stands on the left with an air of expertise and passion evident in her eyes. Engrossed in conversation is Liz Thomas, Head of St Winnow School, sharing her admiration for some exquisite dahlia blooms. The vibrant dahlias steal the spotlight with their radiant colors and intricate petals that seem to dance under the gentle Cornish sun. As Val imparts her wisdom on these floral wonders, Liz listens intently, eager to absorb every detail about these magnificent creations. This annual show serves as a celebration of horticultural excellence and community spirit. Mrs. Thomas had been bestowed with the honor of opening this grand event and later presenting trophies to deserving winners across various categories. Through Jonathan Barker's lens, we witness not only a snapshot frozen in time but also an embodiment of collaboration and shared love for gardening. This photograph encapsulates both the artistry behind cultivating stunning flowers and how it brings individuals together within a close-knit community like Lostwithiel. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene captured at Royal Cornwall Museum's exhibition space today, let us be reminded that gardens hold secrets waiting to be discovered by those willing to immerse themselves in nature's wonderland -
