Laval, a Green and Lively City

Laval is a destination known first and foremost for its effervescence. We know about its dynamic urban side, lively social life, the diversity of its convention centres, its many hotels and many others. However, the city is also full of more unusual agri-tourism attractions, in particular greenhouses where you will find plants and flowers with which you can decorate your office or a corner of your home. Spring is the time to get away from your computer, to go outside and discover the island with greener glasses. Here we present some of the liveliest environments in the heart of Laval!

Nice weather means the gradual arrival of spring... and tulips. The increasingly warm sunny days not only make people want to go outside to breathe the fresh air, but tulips are also taking advantage of it to show their faces. In Laval, you can even pick your own tulips in a beautiful field of these beautiful multicoloured flowers, open daily and at a low cost. It's the perfect activity to enjoy a nice day off with the kids or to go for a change of scenery at lunchtime and pick some great bouquets to decorate your surroundings!

Les Serres Cléroux is also a Laval must-see, as it offers the largest selection of flowers in Quebec. Visitors will marvel at the greenhouses with their floral decorations that change with the seasons. You can also buy the seeds you need for your vegetable garden (and vegetables mean barbecues with friends or colleagues!). If you prefer a more exotic green and floral environment, the impressive variety of succulents, tropical plants, and cacti that are grown in the Serres Cléroux are sure to delight you.

Finally, the Paradis des Orchidées located in Laval, the largest orchid producer in Eastern Canada, is a must-see attraction with its 25,000 square feet dedicated to the cultivation of 30,000 plants of 1000 varieties. You can admire an impressive variety of orchids in the large greenhouse and sales area and leave with a splendid bouquet of these mythical flowers. Since Mother's Day is over, we don't think that she should not be spoiled with a beautiful bouquet for other occasions. We strongly recommend this place to offer her a beautiful floral arrangement. Furthermore, Orchid Paradise offers a corporate gift service. What better way to combine work and nature than with inspiring floral arrangements?

In short, agritourism in Laval is not a second-rate activity, and it is a breath of fresh air to brighten up your environment at work or at home, to see beautiful things with your family, to offer a gift or simply to get closer to a more local consumption!
