EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, taken in 1910, we find Arthur Trower, a well-known gardening enthusiast and author, tending to his expansive garden in Redhill, Surrey. Dressed in a typical gardener's outfit, complete with a wide-brimmed hat, Trower is seen intently working on his lush green grass, using a broom to keep it neat and orderly. But what makes this image truly special is the unexpected presence of a robin perched atop his wheelbarrow, keeping the gardener company. The robin, with its bright red breast and cheerful disposition, adds a delightful touch of whimsy and natural beauty to the scene. Arthur Trower was a prolific writer, having penned numerous articles and books on gardening and nature. His love for the outdoors and his ability to connect with the natural world were evident in his writings, and this photograph captures that essence perfectly. The garden in the background is a testament to Trower's dedication and expertise, with its vibrant flowers, neatly trimmed hedges, and meticulously maintained paths. The robin, with its unwavering gaze, seems to approve of Trower's gardening prowess, adding to the sense of harmony and tranquility that pervades the scene. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures of gardening and the joy of spending time in nature. It also underscores the deep bond between humans and animals, as the robin's companionship adds a sense of comfort and companionship to Trower's gardening endeavors. Overall, this image is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the essence of a man and his love for his garden, and the unexpected friendship that blossomed within it.
