The news was announced last year! And this Spring it will come to blume at Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park. The City of Sacramento, in partnership with the Sacramento Tree Foundation, was awarded $3.2 million from Caltrans’ Clean California Local Grant Program to build on the legacy of this park. Every spring, just over 100 cherry trees will paint the waterfront pink with a bloom so spectacular that it draws visitors from all over the globe. In Japan, this tradition is called hanami and draws thousands of families to picnic, play, and relax in its parks.
