Nothing signifies spring in Washington, D.C. like the fluffy, pink blossoms of the flowering cherry tree. Join Bethany and Jen as they discuss the history and science behind these famous trees. From infestations to international relations, you'll want to hear the fascinating story of D.C.'s cherry trees. They'll also highlight some lesser known, but equally lovely, spring-blooming trees you can see on the U.S. Botanic Garden's campus and around the city.
Presenters: Jen Rudnick and Bethany Bagent, National Park Service Rangers at the National Mall and Memorial Parks
