EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of four women gardeners working diligently in the glasshouses at Frogmore, Windsor Castle during World War I. The year was 1916, and the men who typically tended to the gardens and hothouses of the royal estate had been called to the front lines. In their absence, women stepped up to fill the gap, taking on roles that were once considered the exclusive domain of men. The glasshouses at Windsor Castle were essential for the cultivation of exotic and rare plants that thrived in the controlled environment. The women in this photograph can be seen carefully tending to the lush foliage, their faces focused and serious as they prune, water, and care for the delicate plants. Their outfits, consisting of long-sleeved blouses and aprons, protect them from the heat and humidity of the hothouses. The image is a testament to the adaptability and resourcefulness of women during wartime, as they took on new roles and responsibilities in all areas of life, from the home front to the battlefield. The glasshouses at Frogmore became a symbol of this spirit of innovation and perseverance, as the women who worked there played a vital role in maintaining the beauty and productivity of the royal gardens during a time of great upheaval. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the many ways in which women contributed to the war effort, often in unsung and unheralded ways. It also highlights the importance of horticulture and the natural world, which provided solace and sustenance during times of hardship and uncertainty.
