Hi everyone!

This week's video features the Japanese cherry blossoms in High Park, which bloom once a year every spring in beautiful fashion.

These trees were a gift to Canada from Tokyo, Japan after World War 2, and in this video I share some fun facts as well as pro tips for making the most of peak viewing season (also known as "hanami").

Hope you enjoy this one - stay tuned till the end to learn about the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, and how to enjoy the cherry blossoms in Toronto!

Enjoy and subscribe if you haven't yet ;)
