Cherry Blossom season has arrived at The Alnwick Garden.

Currently, all 329 Taihaku trees are now blushing with bright, white flowers, filling the air with a wonderful fragrance and white blossom as far as the eye can see.

The Orchard at The Alnwick Garden has the largest collection of ‘Taihaku’ in the world. Once a year the Orchard comes to life as the trees all bloom together for up to two weeks around the end of April/beginning of May.

Follow the phenomenon live with The Alnwick Garden’s live ‘Blossom Watch 2022’.
