DescriptionView of a large grass field, interrupted by several rows of plants growing in it. There are some large trees in the background, bounding the edge of the field. Five people stand at various points within the field, bent over working. The three closest to the camera all have long-handled tools in their hands, as though hoeing or raking. The field depicted is the "Big Lawn" in South Manchester.
