Description

This Gingko tree was planted in the Square in 1975, with a plaque that reads:

"This tree was planted by the people of Palmerston North on 8 November 1975 to celebrate the inauguration of our campaign to create an ideal society. When 5% of our population are practicing the transcendental meditation techniques of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, crime, sickness and unhappiness will disappear and the age of enlightenment will be established. Jai Guru Dev."
