Pollinators, a pod of peas and people on parade!

Thanks to everyone who cheered for Friends of the UBC Farm at the Point Grey Fiesta Parade last Saturday!  It was a beautiful day for dressing up in our finest costumes, several of which were kindly loaned by the UBC Sustainability Office.  Our troupe included a pod of peas, bunch of grapes, honey bee, cob of corn and some friendly farmers.  Hats off to the Point Grey Fiesta Committee for organizing such a great community event.  Photo contributions courtesy of Agnieszka and Julia.
