You’d be forgiven for assuming this stretch of Sherbrooke is just another artery of dépanneurs and dollar stores. But stop in front of Marché Westmount and it’s clear: something’s blooming. Behind a low-key corner store sign is one of the most community-loved flower spots in the city, where flats of bright begonias spill onto the sidewalk and regulars are greeted by name. It’s less a formal florist than an overachieving marché with the soul of a botanical garden—one where the owner is known to toss in a free stem or a dog treat just because. Advice is doled out freely (and wisely), and the plants—house, garden, flowering or foliage—are consistently vibrant and well-tended. There’s no sleek branding or delivery platform here, just warmth, generosity, and the kind of everyday beauty that still surprises you.
