Symphony Of Art
The first Symphony of Art sponsored by the Nelson Horticultural Society in aid of the Nelson Soroptomist Club's project for a social hall at Stoke for elderly residents of Orchard Flats, was an outstanding success. Magnificent displays by various organisations filled the Sports Hall. Each had a different theme and each reflected the great amount of work put into them.

A display of New Zealand ferns, being arranged here by Reg Martin, filled much of the hall.
Cacti were predominant in this display, the "Desert Road"
