Cherry Blossom Festival


This year we managed to visit the Cherry Blossom Festival in Auburn Botanical Garden. The previous years, we usually missed it because we didn't know it existed. Auburn Botanic Gardens is regarded as the best place in Sydney to view cherry blossoms, so we just can't miss it this time! The festival itself was held on August 16-24.

It just feels weird having cherry blossom blooming in August. But, hey, this is the southern hemisphere! Spring IS in August!

The Cherry Blossom Festival is held in the Japanese garden area of the botanical garden. There is one main pathway with rows of cherry blossom trees on each side, and plenty of cherry blossom grooves on the other part of the garden. It truly felt like I'm going back to Japan. Even some people thought I was in Japan (well duh, it's August, so technically it's impossible!).
