It’s getting warmer and that means you can spend more time outside in beautiful Montreal parks. If you’re looking for an instant mood booster, try heading to one of the many public or private gardens around the city. There's nothing like heading out solo or with a group of friends to admire the floral displays. Here are some of the places in Montreal where you can revel in spring colours and enjoy a day outdoors.
It's that magical time of year when Montreal's barren trees begin sprouting buds that bloom into flowers, gradually turning the city into a colourful botanical paradise. With the magnolias just starting to blossom and cherry blossoms expected in the coming weeks, you may be wondering where in the city you can see your favourite trees this spring.
Montreal is about to get a whole lot sunnier. SDC District Central, a non-profit organization based in the garment district introduced a brand-new urban development project, La Prairie Louvain, which promises a massive field of sunflowers this summer.
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.
