Just because the market can't go full bloom in person doesn't mean you can't still get some one-on-one time with experts in all things floral. Instagram Live programming will be going on the entire day on Toronto Flower Market'saccountto keep the community feel alive.

This includes a field-grown flower tour atFairyPatch Flower Garden, a greenhouse tour atPioneer Flower Farms, and conversations with florists, city growers and still life photographers.

Over a dozen local suppliers will be represented at the market, including FairyPatch and Pioneer as well asPop-Up Flower Shop,ReBLOOM,Mud Makers,Euclid Farms,Pine Flora,Homebody Collectiveand more.

Apparently the digital marketplace took weeks to set up. Last year, the market took place at CAMH.
