💕 Love this so much!
Are there any good cherry blossom locations that aren't at the Tidal Basin?
I'm coming to DC march 27-30 and thanks to watching Trip Hacks I feel that I am well prepared. This is #1 on the bucket list and really looking forward to it, rain or shin !
Thank you for all this information! I used to live in DC back in the '90s
Do you know when the tulips will be planted at the floral library in dc?
Yes. I intend to be there.
Bringing my family on April 13-16. You think is going to be super busy then??
Looking great !! 😃😃
Thanks for the info, Rob! We’ll be there March 23-27.
I live in Alexandria, VA and I'm definitely going to be part of the Cherry Blossom Festival!
Do you think the peak bloom will be on March 18 or 25th? Also, how do the blossoms appear 1 week after peak bloom?
I'm popping by DC for a few days later this week, Thur/Fri/Sat. Appears I'm bringing the cold weather with me. 🤣 Maybe I'll catch the Smithsonian Castle Magnolias.
A week from now I am going to be in DC for a cross country school trip and I’m trying to pack a bunch of info in a couple days
Kenwood Neighborhood in Bethesda-Chevy Chase the Cherry blossom is beautiful. I think even prettier than the Tidal Basin. The best way to see is walking on the Capital Crescent Trail from Downtown Bethesda. Near the trail there are free park on the swimming pool park lot. But also you can park on the public park. Saturday and Sunday the public park on the ramp in Downtown Bethesda is free. Or you can take a metro to Downtown Bethesda.
And also the magnolias at Castle Museum Garden started blooming. I went there yesterday February 28, 2023.
Can you do a video about the tulips where to see in the area? Brookside gardens in Maryland they have tulips and also there are farms with tulips too. Brookside Garden is free . But to see the tulips on the farms you have to buy a ticket.
I've been planning my trip for July 4th but keep hearing that cherry blossom was a better time. Thanks for this video, now I have to take a quick trip down March 23-26. I gotta fly my kite on the national mall.
