Teena in Toronto: Toronto Flower Market, Toronto, ON

The second seasonal Toronto Flower Market is today. It's held from 10am to 3pm on the northeast corner (Queen Street W/Shaw Street) of CAMH (1001 Queen Street W).

Toronto Flower Market celebrates and supports Ontario grown flowers & plants, connecting growers and florists directly with the city. Together, we raise awareness about flower varieties grown locally in fields and greenhouses while cultivating a passionate local flower community.

Founded in May 2013, Toronto Flower Market created the city’s first outdoor flower market. The market season runs monthly from May through October, with special collaborations sprouting up throughout the year.

Natasa Kajganic was inspired to create Toronto Flower Market after a visit to London’s Columbia Road. A vision of stalls bursting with fresh blooms in Toronto’s public spaces was planted in her mind and has kept growing ever since.

I stopped in about 1pm. It was fairly crowded and a lot of the flowers had been sold. It smelled amazing and was so colourful! There was lots of variety depending on what you are looking for.
