How to Register

Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival

The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival online forums are all about ornamental cherries — how to identify them and where and when to see examples of our many cherry cultivars primarily in the Vancouver area. Reports on blossom viewing are provided by VCBF “Cherry Scouts” and others keen to help you appreciate these beautiful bloomers in our neighbourhoods.
