Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey, has 1,500 more cherry trees than the nation’s capital.
I figured she was exaggerating.
Additionally, with its wide variety of trees, blossoms ebb and flow from late March to early May.

The park first started blossoming in 1927 when 2,500 cherry trees were donated by philanthropist Caroline Bamberger Fuld.
By 1978, an annual Cherry Blossom Festival started as a community celebration to celebrating the floral beauty.
A$10 million Cherry Blossom Visitor Centerwas added last year.
Indeed, that’s the feeling I have associated with the park.
During the pandemic, Branch Brook Park became like a second home, and my haven.
