Sakura in Brooklyn, New York

Cherry Blossom Season at Brooklyn Botanical Gardens:

Hanami is the Japanese name for cherry-blossom viewing, and the Japanese have long-established customs surrounding this tradition, including picnicking under the boughs of cherry trees and trapping fallen petals in cups of sake. Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s peerless collection of cherry trees—-the largest and most diverse outside Japan—-creates a canopy of blossoms in the spring worthy of celebration.
Cherry Blossom Season at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden starts in late March and lasts through late April. Since the season is impacted by the weather, BBG will be announcing the official start of the season when the first cherry blossoms bloom in their gardens!
