Sakura Watch May 6, 2020 - Watch the City of Toronto's 2020 Virtual Tour of the cherry blossoms
Sakura Watch May 6, 2020 - Watch the City of Toronto's 2020 Virtual Tour of the cherry blossoms in High Park while its closed for public safety reasons in an effort to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The City has been posting Live tours as well as this beautifully put together video highlighting the current peak bloom throughout High Park.
Watch the YouTube update below:
2020 Peak Bloom and Live Tour
In 2020, the peak bloom that started May 3 and will continue through to May 9. Of course, if the weather does hold out, we will be able to see them for a little longer after that. However, with cold and rain currently in the forecast for this upcoming Mother’s Day weekend, they may not last.
Here are some still captures from the video virtual tour:

Since the park is closed to myself and anyone else wanting a personal look at the cherry blossoms, we will have to rely on the BloomCam and virtual updates from the City of Toronto for more on their status in the days ahead.
Other live virtual events have been played on the City of Toronto’s Instagram and YouTube page, with repeats of the shows posted for those who may have missed them. See yesterday’s update about the Live Tour (see below) with the High Park Nature Centre staff to see an example of that.
