"These beautiful cherry trees are more than a visual delight - they represent a bond between nations, a gift to our local communities, and a lasting legacy. We know after our long winters, people rejoice seeing colour and blossom, and this sea of pink will be an awe-inspiring hit of horticultural wonder."
"By planting these trees along the hillside, we've created a natural canvas, where, every spring, the landscape will transform into a vibrant sea of pink blossoms. We look forward to welcoming everyone to experience this new valley of blossom in Greenwich Park."
Greenwich Park has planted 130 Prunus 'Sekiyama' cherry trees, supported by the Sakura Cherry Tree Project. These trees will create a vibrant pink display each spring. They are planted along the hillside between the Grand Ascent and One Tree Hill, forming a naturalistic 'valley of blossom'. Although they will flower next year, it will take a few years for them to grow fully. The project symbolizes the friendship between the UK and Japan, contributing to local communities and enhancing the park's beauty.
