EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from April 1983, we are transported to the idyllic grounds of St Winnow Church of England Primary School in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. Local dignitaries gather around as enthusiastic pupils eagerly plant seeds in their newly established vegetable patches. The school's esteemed headmaster, Jerry Toft, stands to the left, passionately explaining the underlying ethos behind this remarkable project. The image showcases a picturesque school field adorned with vibrant greenery and fertile soil ready to nurture these young gardeners' aspirations. Each child is armed with a watering can, symbolizing their commitment to care for and cultivate their own little corner of nature. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the essence of community engagement and environmental stewardship that permeates through every Cornish village. It serves as a testament to how education extends beyond textbooks and classrooms into real-life experiences that shape children's understanding of sustainability and self-sufficiency. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully immortalizes this scene, allowing us to witness the pride beaming from each child's face as they contribute towards something greater than themselves. This photograph reminds us that even small actions like planting seeds can sow lifelong lessons about responsibility, teamwork, and respect for our natural world. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum alongside countless other treasures celebrating Cornish heritage, this image embodies the spirit of St Winnow Church of England Primary School while serving as an enduring reminder of the transformative power rooted within educational initiatives centered on hands-on learning
