Weekend Adventures

This weekend, we decided to explore a spot we have seen from afar many times (oh the joys of DVP traffic), Evergreen Brick Works. All we knew before taking off, was that we should follow the smoke stack to the Sunday Farmers' Market, and boy were we in for a pleasant surprise. This is a must-see weekend stop, suitable for adults, couples and families alike. Check out our adventure below!

THE MARKET: Fresh lavender, chocolate, artisans, craft beer, soaps, fruit, wine, gelato.

GARDENS/TRAILS: An amazing array of gardens, and access to the Lower Don Trails.

RETAIL/ART: Check out Café Belong & Evergreen Garden Market, and the amazing art exhibits.

You can find me at Pineapple Street. Hope to see you there :)
