Cherry blossom time
 |
No need to schlep all the way to Washington to catch the cherry trees in
bloom when you can catch this rite of spring right here at the Morris Arboretum.
John Morris, whose estate is the Arboretums heart, was an avid collector of Japanese plants, and the Cherry Blossom Festival showcases one of the areas finest Japanese gardens and plant collections. The festival kickoff, on Sunday, April 1, features drummers, a tea ceremony, garden tours, a lecture on Asian gardens, activities for kids and Japanese-inspired items on the café menu.
