Editor's Choice: BIXI Season In Montreal Is Starting Early This Year

Cue this tool we discovered: the Botanical Garden's "Calendar of Blooms," which tells you exactly what you can see and when. 

In April, expect to see alpine plants, begonias, bromeliads, cacti, gesneriads, hydrangeas, narcissi, orchids, penjings, and tulips. The cherry tree blossom happens in May! 

On the same website, you'll also find the Botanical Garden's "Blooms of the week," featuring photos of its weekly picks. For the week of April 5, forsythias and witch-hazels are blooming. 

Check out the Calendar of blooms here.
