Imagine... 

Pink clouds of cherry blossoms reflected on a lake.

A statue of a President with a backdrop of 
Classical architecture in marble and Japanese Lanterns.

Are you thinking... Washington, D.C.?

Well ... Think Again!

It's all here in Buffalo, NY, in the Japanese Garden, in Delaware Park.

Why Drive all the way to Washington, DC, 
When you can see a Springtime Blizzard in Buffalo.

A blizzard of Cherry Blossoms, that is.
  
Our blossoms bloom just after those in Washington, DC.  

Why not make it a Journey of it?
