ONLINE PROGRAM
For many, the spring season is marked by colourful flower blooms. For a few weeks each year, over 40,000 individual cherry trees suddenly paint Vancouver neighbourhoods in splashes and showers of pink petals. Nina Shoroplova, author and photographer of Legacy of Trees: Purposeful Wandering in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, recently became a cherry scout for the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival. Join Nina as she shares what she has learned about cherry trees, as well as where you can go to enjoy cherry blossoms in Stanley Park and Vancouver’s West End this season.
