6 Great Places To See Cherry Blossoms On Nantucket
Nantucket cherry blossoms are spectacular sights to see when the weather warms up. The blossoms can be found throughout the island typically in early April. Cherry blossoms look best for about two weeks, but this “peak” period can be longer or shorter depending on the weather. In less-than-ideal conditions (wet, windy, hot, stormy), the flowers disappear more quickly. Here are 6 of the best places to find cherry blossoms on Nantucket.
