With the coming of Spring comes the annual Cherry Blossom Festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Some of the trees are already in bloom, and will continue to bloom over the next 3 or so weeks. When all the trees are in full bloom the gardens are covered in pink petals, it is a spectacle everyone should see at least once in a lifetime. The progress of the trees blooming can be monitored on the garden's website, they have a virtual map of the trees that are in bloom.
