Can you feel that soft spring breeze? We are too, and we’re already getting ready for our favorite bloom in Montreal: the cherry blossoms.
We know that there are a few stages before the cherry trees – the melting of the snow, the appearance of crocuses, tulips, then lily of the valley and forget-me-nots, and finally, in May, the trees will be in bloom.
As you can see, we’re eagerly awaiting the cherry blossoms, and already have a list of the best places to see them…
