3 totally Instagram-worthy activities in the fields

With harvest season in full swing, now is the perfect time to tour the fields in Laval. Not only will you be supporting local businesses, but you’ll also have the chance to fill your basket with beautiful flowers and fresh produce, enjoy a fun activity, and capture all those wonderful moments with your camera. All of this, with family or friends!

The Marineau Grand Floral Adventure Festival

This Festival at La Ferme Marineau is a must-visit for your Instagram this year! Their field of nearly a million flowers and grasses in every color is sure to amaze you! It’s the perfect opportunity to create personalized bouquets for your loved ones or to decorate your home. Their floral interpretation center will teach you the technique for drying your bouquet so you can keep it forever. Needless to say, it’s also one of the best places to take your most beautiful summer photos!

When you visit with family or friends, have some fun in the hybrid corn and sunflower maze with a mystery game. Take the opportunity to have a picnic, enjoy some delicious artisanal ice cream, take a break under the big top, or even try out the giant games. As a bonus, catch a singer’s performance on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Pick-your-own flowers and a giant corn maze at Forget Farm

In addition to picking strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and squash, you can also pick flowers at the Ferme Forget. Yes, yes! Take the opportunity to spruce up your bouquet (and your Instagram photos!) by adding sunflowers and zinnias—those pretty, warm-colored blooms. But you’ll have to be quick: they only bloom during the month of August. Don’t miss your chance!

Through the end of September, try to find your way through the giant corn maze in search of the quiz stations. For a completely different experience, try the nighttime maze on Friday evenings (reservations required). Don’t forget your rain boots!

Nature Center

We simply had to include the gardens of the Nature Center on the list! A true paradise—go for a stroll there as a couple, with friends, or with family; admission is free! Bring a picnic and soak up the magical atmosphere. Take advantage of the gazebo and the vibrant flower gardens to snap some Instagram-worthy photos.

The Nature Center also offers a wide rangeof recreational and educational activities, including hiking, biking, inline skating, kayaking, canoeing, plant greenhouses, a petting zoo, and water play areas.

Enjoy your visit!
