PROSPECT HEIGHTS — The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has launched a live cherry blossom-tracking map on its website ahead of the spring bloom season, enabling garden visitors to check the status of the delicate pink flowers before committing to the trip. The Cherrywatch map currently shows that just two trees have entered first bloom, while most remain in “pre-bloom” state.
Cherry blossom enthusiasts can celebrate the season on April 25 and May 2 with the BBG’s Hanami Nights festival, which will feature extended evening hours and live music, dancing and refreshments; more information will be announced as the event approaches.
