Spring has sprung and that means Toronto will soon be filled with gorgeous cherry blossom blooms! While High Park is a popular place to see cherry blossoms, there are plenty of other spots you may not know about.
According to the City of Toronto, “Take part in the centuries-old tradition of hanami, the Japanese term for flower viewing. Called sakura in Japan, these cherry blossom trees bloom at the end of April to early May.”
Grab a loved one, or venture off on a solo day-date and check out one of these cherry blossom hubs.
The map includes the following places:
- Birkdale Ravine
