We hope this month's trivia will bring an appreciation of nature's beauty and inspire a trip to Essex County's Branch Brook Park where you can see the largest and most varied collection of flowering cherry blossom trees in a park within the United States. This year, the more than 5,200 trees are expected to reach their peak of lovely, fluttering pink and white blossoms, complemented by a sweet fragrance, in mid-April. For more info and daily pictures, check out Branch Brook Park Alliance on Facebook.
