Flower season is definitely upon us with spring officially starting tomorrow. From pink cherry blossom trees to stunning tulips, there are flowers all around us during this time of the year. Flower markets are so adorable, but they're usually always found somewhere outside. This stunning indoor market is actually inside, making it easy for you to get into the spring mood regardless of the fact that there's still snow outside.
There are so many things to do during the springtime in Ottawa, but at this very moment the weather is still waaaay to cold to even attempt to go for a "stroll" to a flower garden. Of course, it doesn't hurt to plan what you'll be doing in a couple weeks, but as of right now we're at a standstill when it comes to spring weather. Luckily this beautiful flower market is sure to bring spring straight to your Insta page.

@yuka.jennThe CF Flower Market is a temporary pop-up at the CF Rideau Centre, so be sure to get that photo before it goes! At the market, you can buy local goodies and, of course, flowers. Different local shops will be featured at the market at different times of this month. Some of the shops that will be at the market include:
- Top Shelf Preserves: March 20 and March 31
- Alicja Confections: March 23 to March 25
- Flawless by Friday: March 28 to March 29 and March 31
@victoria__urbanTop Shelf Preserves is a small business located in Ottawa that makes handmade pickles and high-quality preserves. Sara Pishva started the business in May 2013. Some of the flavours include Rhubarb Raisin Chutney, Spicy Pickled Carrots, Classic Pickled Beets, and Blueberry Gin Jam.
Alicja Confections is a chocolate company that just opened up a shop here in Ottawa. Alicja Confections has a chocolate for everyone. Some of the incredible flavours include Go nuts (donuts), Nicholas (potato chip), Party in my mouth (popping candy), Cereal and milk (cereal and marshmallow), and even Ramen bowl (dried ramen)! If you cant make it to the store, you can head to CF Rideau Centre to grab some of these unique chocolate bars.
@elisabeth.buuFlawless by Friday is a Canadian skin care company that combines natural ingredients with sophisticated Asian-inspired gel technology. They believe in speed, simplicity, and self-confidence. If you're looking for gel eye masks to help you get rid of those tired eyes, then you 100% need to head to this market to grab some amazing skin products.
Flowers that will be on sale through the pop-up are from Ottawa Flowers. Ottawa Flowers is an award-winning florist company in Ottawa. They are masters of floral designs, specializations, and have a friendly staff. Grab some flowers for someone you love this month from this beautiful Flower Market. Seriously, you can't go to a flower market without actually getting some flowers!
@stephaniedubesMake your way to the CF Rideau Centre now to admire the market, grab some photos, and pick up some great local products. The pop-up is located at Centre Court on Level 1 of the mall. It will close up on March 31st, so you have a couple more weeks to visit this pop-up shop. For more information about this Flower Market, click here.
