EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in the early 1910s, we are transported back in time to the State School of Horticulture located within the enchanting Vilvoorde Botanical Gardens in Vilvoorde, Belgium. The image offers a bird's-eye view of the school, revealing a vibrant and meticulously maintained landscape teeming with lush greenery and diverse plant species. The school, a significant educational institution dedicated to the art and science of horticulture, is situated amidst the botanical gardens, providing students with a unique and immersive learning experience. The photograph captures the school's impressive infrastructure, with its red-tiled roofs, neatly arranged buildings, and a large, open-air classroom surrounded by trees and vegetation. A closer look reveals a group of students, likely engaged in a horticultural lesson, clustered around a ladder as they tend to the branches of a towering tree. The tree, adorned with its full foliage, stands as a testament to the dedication and expertise of the students and their instructors. The Vilvoorde Botanical Gardens, established in 1852, have been a cherished part of the Belgian horticultural landscape for over a century. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and serenity of the gardens but also highlights the importance of horticultural education during this era. The image serves as a captivating reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of the State School of Horticulture in Vilvoorde, Belgium.
