CANCELLED. Mother nature decided to hold her festival early and the date that we set to visit will be too late. For those who would still like to see the remainder of the blossoms and tulips, they are at their peak this week.We will try again next year and maybe invite the weatherman to help us with the date.
While the displays in North Texas are not as grand in scale as the 3,000 Yoshino cherry trees on Washington, D.C.’s National Mall, they are a lot closer! Each North Texas spring brings these awe-inspiring puffs of pink and white to the Dallas Arboretum. Cherry trees are one of the most beautiful flowering trees covered with puffs of pinkish cotton candy, but blossoms only last about 10 days (assuming we do not get a torrential, spring storm.) There are over 150 cherry trees here, reaching up to 30 feet tall, and they bloom profusely plus we can walk the garden trails (or catch one of their shuttle carts) to enjoy their other stunning landscapes. We’ll board the bus at Texins Activity Center at 9:00, tour the beautiful grounds, eat at Chili's (so bring lunch money) and return around 1:00 pm. Prices are $18 for members and $20 for nonmembers.
