It is always a long awaited spectacle when all 329 Taihaku Cherry Trees erupt into bloom, and this year was no exception.
The Blossom Watch Live Stream went live in March and we were gladly inundated with excited messages all wondering when the blossom would finally bloom!
We officially announced full on bloom on April 17th and the following two weeks were spent celebrating the transient nature of blossom season! Here are some of our favourites…
Taihaku Cherry Blossom is bright white and makes the perfect picture!
Exploring the blossom is best with company!
A view you won’t see often…
There’s plenty of room on one of the 50 swinging benches throughout The Orchard
Blossom Season can also mean selfie season!
Head Gardener Rob pleased with this year’s bloom and watching everyone enjoy!
