I was on my quest to find perennial (vivace) plants that gives the most value for money, as the…read moreplants regrow every spring. This brought me to Mega Centre Montreal (Pépinière Gentile) and I was impressed with the size of the place and variety of plants, herbs and trees. I showed Graciella, who was busy looking after the garden centre, a list of edible perennial plants & herbs and without hesitation, she knew most of them and helped identifying and choosing these plants below: Mushroom herb (Plante champignon) It is a leafy green plant with a crisp texture like spinach with a distinctive taste of Mushroom- can be eaten raw in a salad, sandwich or in a pasta sauce. Lemon Balm (mélisse) Is a member of the mint family that grows bushy and can become invasive. The leaves have a pleasant lemon smell used in herbal tea. Spear mint (menthe verte) This is my favourite of all the mints, as it has a delicate sweet taste used in cooking. It helps alleviate symptoms of nausea and indigestion. Lovage (Livèche) tastes like celery with undertones of parsley and a hint of anise. The name is derived from "Love ache", and adds delicious ways to be used in the kitchen. Ginger mint (menthe gingembre) has a spicy scent with a hint of ginger and has many culinary uses. It is primarily sweet with the familiar cooling effect of mint. Nasturtium (Capucine) is an easy to grow flower, adds bright colours to your dish as beautiful decoration and fully edible. The leaves have watercrest-like flavours. Will come back again.

It was like walking into some pinterest version of my dream home. Giftwares for the whimsical, light and airy, modern-bohemian-hipster person in your life (or yourself), this store had so much that I would want, including the serving bowl size versions of the dish set I already own. Below, a taste: *door transformed into mail sorting artwork *hooks and drawer pulls, a plenty *bright - but not overly modern bright - coloured throw pillows *kitchen gadgets *glass decanters for the mid century fiends *table lamp with a bird on a branch as the stand *table linens in subdued patterns Downside - finding out it's mostly made in China stuff. But, then again, it also is reasonably priced, which makes it a better version of Anthropologie in my books.
