Spring has sprung. Flower and plant stalls have returned to Montreal's public markets, heralding the return of warm weather. They also mark, in the words of the Société des Marchés publics de Montréal, "the conversion of the markets to open-air mode." Gone are the winter barriers at Jean-Talon, Atwater and Maisonneuve Markets. Now, produce vendors are selling their goods just a few steps away from the bowery horticulture displays. The markets have also announced some of their summer and fall programming, including the arrival of new restaurants and the return of seasonal events.
