Farmers’ Markets & Florists
T
here is something to be said about summer in Toronto – and it goes beyond the obvious appeal of hot days and long nights after an especially gruelling winter season. Our city comes alive in the summer with a full slate of events, activities, and seasonal businesses worth marking your calendar for as we look to make the most of each sun-soaked week. Perhaps one of our favourite summer staples is the resurgence of local farmers’ markets and flower shops that are in full bloom this time of year (see what we did there?). From carefully curated flower arrangements, delicious coffee and treats, artisanal goods and gifts, and fresh, locally-sourced produce and food – seasonal markets pop up in each Toronto neighbourhood every year with something unique to offer. Whether you’re simply planning to stroll through a market with a coffee in hand on Sunday morning, or you’re after the perfect, aesthetically-pleasing bouquet to brighten up your condo, Toronto’s east-end markets and flower shops will never disappoint. With this in mind, The Richards Group’s Cera Dann has rounded up her favourite spots in East Toronto that are not to be missed this summer.
