I had a blast. Just love that location, and it was really nice it was sunny.

Just wanted to add a little note that I was glad to see many faces from Village Vancouver and my other garden connections. It was a perfect day for a celebration and gathering of community. Thanks for your ongoing support. The day went very well. Cylia
