There are over a dozen markets in the Ottawa area, including the popular Carp Farmer’s Market, historic Parkdale Market and downtown Ottawa’s ByWard Market.
May is also when the Canadian Tulip Festival comes to Ottawa. One of Ottawa’s most popular annual events, the festival celebrates the seasonal flower’s historic ties to the city with over 300,000 tulips planted at Commissioners Park near Dow’s Lake. The breathtaking displays will put a smile on any mom’s face.
Speaking of flowers, Ottawa is full of gorgeous gardens that are open to the public to explore. Why buy a bouquet when you can enjoy the entire garden?
