EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the enchanting month of May in 1938. The image captures a momentous occasion - a Tree Planting Ceremony near Petworth, where ancient traditions and nature intertwine harmoniously. Standing tall amidst the lush greenery is an oak tree, symbolizing strength and endurance. The focal point of the photograph lies in the group of druids who have gathered for this sacred ceremony. Cloaked in flowing robes adorned with intricate patterns, they exude an aura of mysticism and reverence. With hands outstretched towards the earth, they delicately plant saplings as if bestowing life itself upon them. Surrounded by onlookers from all walks of life, their faces reflect awe and admiration for these guardians of tradition. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as each individual present understands that they are partaking in something truly extraordinary - witnessing history unfold before their very eyes. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable snapshot serves as a testament to our deep-rooted connection with nature and our shared responsibility to protect it. It reminds us that even during times marked by uncertainty and change, there are timeless rituals that bind us together across generations. As we gaze upon this evocative scene frozen in time, let it inspire us to honor our natural surroundings today just as those druids did nearly a century ago – planting seeds not only for future growth but also for unity among humanity itself.
