The Walls Are Down at Your Public Markets

It’s done! The enclosure walls at the Atwater and Jean Talon markets have been taken down and put away and the markets are now officially open to the great outdoors! Our market gardeners and horticulturists are waiting for you!
Awaken Your Inner Gardener!
As you wander through the outside aisles of the public markets, where your producers and merchants have set up their stalls, you’ll be greeted by the scent of flowers, basil and other typical market odours.
Their vast selection of herbs, flowers, leafy plants and accessories are guaranteed to answer all your gardening needs. Ask our horticulturists about growing a successful vegetable garden or a colourful flower-filled balcony. Plant trimming, repotting… they’ll be pleased to give you their advice.
