Attention, cherry blossom enthusiasts! The most beautiful time of year is upon us, and the mix of spring weather conditions across Canada means that we could be in for some early blooms this year. In Metro Vancouver, residents may already be able to spot some budding pink blossoms in certain neighbourhoods, and the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival has an interactive map to track them all.
With over 3,000 locations of cherry blossom trees and around 50 different varieties, the online map is a great resource to consult if you’re hoping to map out a spring walk.
You can search by neighbourhood or cultivar, or change the blooming dates to see what’s in bloom in the coming weeks.
