If you love cherry blossoms (who doesn’t!?), you should definitely check out the cherry blossom park in the Amsterdam Forest (Amsterdamse Bos)! In this post, we’ll explain when the cherry blossoms bloom and how to get to the Amsterdam Forest to see the cherry blossom trees. The cherry blossom park The cherry blossom park (kersenbloesempark in Dutch) is a beautiful area in the Amsterdam Forest, with 400 cherry blossom trees. In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom tree represents a new beginning, but also the fragility of life. These trees were a gift to Amstelveen from the Japan Women’s Club. A fun detail: all trees are named. 200 trees have a Japanese women’s name and 200 trees have a Dutch women’s name.
