Fake flowers decorate Old Montreal
Garlands of artificial flowers can be seen decorating the façades of several Old Montreal enterprises these days, apparently a trend borrowed from Europe, where efforts are being made to stamp it out.

There’s a communal veggie garden at the back of my apt bldg, as well as a gorgeous crab apple tree. Last summer a tenant plonked a 5 foot tall artificial ‘tree’ with ‘perennial’ blue blooms near the tree. Wot! I pick my battles here, but finally wrote a short note for the suggestion box, adorned with some native flowers and pollinators in watercolour.

Im in Old Montreal right now and had kinda noticed the fake flowers but now I’m seeing them everywhere and yeah, they’re kind of tacky.
