Viewing of the Cherry Trees
2024
This low-key event was scheduled for sometime in April, near the Japanese Pavilion in Swinney Park West. This year was a good year to see the flowers, and we discovered that one tree was a different variety from the other 4 in that it had pink flowers rather than white.
