Life List #20: National Cherry Blossom Festival- Washington D.C



As the trees reach their peak this week, I thought I would take us on a virtual tour of this annual event.

The Cherry Trees were a gift in 1912 from the Mayor of Tokyo.

There are now 3800 cherry trees...and you can help plant and preserve the tradition though The Endow a Cherry Tree Campaign
