Cherries on top

You know it’s spring when the pink, peaceful cherry blossoms bloom at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Officially known as “Hanami,” the Garden’s 220 cherry trees — the largest collection outside of Japan — are expected to start blooming around April 2, reaching their peak around May 1, just in time for “Sakura Matsuri,” the garden’s spectacular weekend-long celebration of Japanese culture, food, dance and music that’s always one of the season’s biggest bashes.

“Hanami” at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden [1000 Washington Ave. near Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, (718) 623-7200], April 2-May 1. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students with ID, free for children 11 and younger. For info, visit www.bbg.org.
