Ah, it is so beautiful one the weather turns to summer in Vancouver. So the Truck Farm and I have been taking some time to play tourist. And since pictures say far more in this situation, here are some recent shots. We also invite you to follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/TruckFarmCanada) to see more of our mobile demonstration of small space container gardening. You never know where we might show up.
