Helping communities blossom.
Cherry blossoms are a symbolic flower of the spring, a time of renewal, and the fleeting nature of life. Their life is very short. After their beauty peaks around two weeks, the blossoms start to fall. ... Hanami literally means “watching blossoms,” and the tradition can be traced back at least a thousand years.
The National Trust are working with partners to give communities more access to nature through the creation of green spaces and circles of blossom trees.
They hope these natural places will give people space for hope and reflection as we move forward from the pandemic and the chance to celebrate the beauty of spring year after year.
The first blossom circles will be created in east London, Newcastle, Nottingham and Plymouth.
