桜 (SAKURA) Cherry Blossom Trees

Thanks to the generous support of our corporate and individual sponsors, we achieved our decade-long goal - planting 1,000 cherry blossom trees in Nashville parks and neighborhoods. 

Symbolic of Japan-U.S. friendship, Japanese cherry blossom trees beautify Nashville. Each spring, pink and white blossoms blanket the city and inspire the Nashville Cherry Blossom Festival, the largest of its kind in the Southeast.
