EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Seed Merry Go Round at a Hertfordshire seed depot" we are transported back to January 1948, witnessing the bustling activity of plotholders and gardeners gathering their seed selections. Located in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, this seed distribution center is a hub of productivity as 300 dedicated girls work tirelessly to distribute tens of thousands of packets daily. The image captures a squad of these hardworking girls gracefully maneuvering around the great hall, resembling a merry-go-round in motion. Their nimble hands swiftly pick out packets from the countless pigeon holes that line the walls, ensuring each customer receives their desired seeds. This photograph not only showcases the industrious nature of this particular depot but also highlights the significant role women played in post-war industries during the 1940s. With determination and skill, these young women contribute to both local gardening efforts and larger-scale production processes. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of an era when manual labor was essential for sustaining communities. The dedication exhibited by these girls reflects their commitment to providing quality seeds for gardens across Hertfordshire. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we are granted access to an important chapter in our agricultural history – one where teamwork and efficiency were paramount. This print encapsulates not just an industry but also represents resilience and collaboration within communities striving towards growth and abundance.
