April 1, 2007 : Cherry Blossoms at Nitobe Memorial Garden
This is absolutely the best time to see the cherry trees blooming in the garden. Don't miss it. Seriously, don't miss it!
Here are some pictures of visitors enjoying the trees, and of Horticulturist Junji Shinada who takes care of Nitobe Memorial Garden. Junji takes care of the entire garden on his own -- can you believe that?
On Saturday April 7th between 3:00 and 7:00 pm the Vancouver Mokuyokai Society will be holding their 24th Annual Ohanami Cherry-Blossom Viewing in the garden. This will include candlelight viewings, tea ceremonies, musical performances and traditional obento dinner boxes. Go to their website here or send an email for information or to make tea ceremony and obento reservations.
