With our Wednesday Karaoke group and friends, we went on a slow walk field trip to the Sunset Nursery where all of the plants for the parks in Vancouver are grown. Generally, the public is not allowed to see what goes on inside, but we were able to obtain special permission from Bruce to take one of our favourite groups on a tour. Here are some photos documenting the trip!
