*Workshop Disclaimer*
Cherry blossom season is greatly affected by small changes in the weather leading up to and during the season. The planned date gives us the best opportunity to see the blossoms, but we cannot guarantee when the blossoms will reach peak bloom. However, Les knows the area well and will do his best to make the experience worth it no matter the conditions.
