Wildflowers are grown in Ayer’s Cliff.
Because it gives off a sweet scent of spring and brings color to the house, the bouquet of flowers is always a pleasant present to receive. Composed of willow catkins and specialty tulips, the arrangements prepared by the Enfants Sauvages flower farm have it all. In addition to having grown in Quebec, in Ayer’s Cliff, the flowers are grown without pesticides or herbicides. Mother’s Day bouquets can be delivered to your home in Montreal, on the South Shore, in the North Crown and in Estrie. It is also possible to pick them up at one of the pick-up points.

Being a mother, “it’s not asking just a little! writes the Quebec company 4T on its website. To offer a moment of sweetness to the new mother, she brought together in a box “treatments that celebrate the physical and mental well-being so important during the fourth trimester”. A lip balm, an invigorating fragrance and an oatmeal bath are part of this box that promises to soothe body and mind. All products are suitable for breastfeeding women. Two other thematic boxes have also been designed for Mother’s Day.

Love words

Marlone cards come with a seed packet.
The words fly away, but the writings remain. Why not take advantage of Mother’s Day to write down all the affection you have for your mom? It will be a memory she will want to keep for a long time. We really like the cards created for the occasion by the Montreal company Marlone. A little extra: they contain a sachet of seeds. Your mother will be able to embellish her land with biological cosmos.
