Get Out! It's PEAK BLOOM WEEK IN DC!

 by Peggy Robin

 
Is the Tidal Basin too crowded for you? Been there, done that, too many times to count? Keep in mind, they're not the only bloomin' trees in town!
 
Casey Trees has compiled this helpful little map so you can find blossoms in all sorts of places in DC...and some will even have ample strolling room (if you time it right.) For individualized bloom-spotting, just enter your address in the search box to find flowering trees right around the corner from you.
