To celebrate the start of spring—that’s today (March 20), by the way, regardless of what the less-than-warm weather may indicate—Pacific Centre (701 West Georgia Street) and Richmond Centre (6551 No. 3 Road, Richmond) are hosting pop-up flower markets offering a selection of fresh blooms and curated fashion-and-lifestyle items until April 1.

Described by Cadillac Fairview—the shopping malls’ parent company—as “reminiscent of an open-air European market”, the pop-ups at Pacific Centre and Richmond Centre will carry flowers from Meinhardt Fine Foods and the Abbotsford Tulip Festival, respectively. Carefully arranged décor, greenery, and blooms drenched in ultra violet—Pantone’s colour of the year for 2018—help complete the immersive market experience.

Visitors will also find Canadian-made food, fashion, and beauty products from label such as the Lemon Square, Lexton Harper Co., and Flawless by Friday during the pop-ups’ duration. Check out the full brand lineups at each shopping centre below.
