"Keeping Up High Standard" Esplanade Gardens

Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 11 February 1961: "Always a source of delight, the parks and reserves in Palmerston North are maintained by a band of men who must take great pride in their work. Here at the Esplanade, Messrs. P. Wilson (left) and T. Cooper tend a bed of dwarf dahlias, which are at the moment looking their best."
