EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the picturesque Petworth House gardens in July 1950. The scene is alive with activity as a man, dressed impeccably in a suit, stands amidst the lush greenery holding a microphone. It becomes evident that he is recording an interview with the gardener for BBC radio. The setting itself exudes tranquility and charm. A stone wall forms a sturdy border around the garden, while an elegant archway beckons visitors to explore further. A serene pond adorned with lily pads adds a touch of serenity to the landscape, reflecting the vibrant flowers that bloom nearby. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, it's impossible not to appreciate the meticulous planning and care that went into maintaining these beautiful grounds. Slabs line pathways leading through meticulously manicured lawns and carefully curated flowerbeds bursting with colors. This image captures more than just a moment frozen in time; it encapsulates an era when radio was at its peak as a medium for storytelling and information sharing. The conversation between interviewer and gardener likely delves into horticultural techniques or perhaps even anecdotes about life within these historic walls. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's George Garland Collection, this photograph serves as both a visual delight and historical artifact - reminding us of Petworth House's enduring beauty and its connection to media history.
