The Oregonian photojournalist Sean Meagher visited Portland Japanese Garden to capture photography of our cherry blossoms, which began to bloom this week. Meagher writes, “Garden-goers on Wednesday witnessed the cherry blossoms awakening in the Flat Garden and flanking the Umami Café as various pink hues dotting the tranquil green landscape between sun breaks and occasional rain drops.” If you’d like to see the state of the Garden’s cherry trees, you can do so by going to our Cherry Blossom Watch 2023 page, linked here.
