In a ceremony held on March 27, 1912, U.S. First Lady Helen Taft and the wife of the Japanese ambassador, Vicountess Chinda, planted the first two trees on the bank of the Tidal Basin. The commemoration of this ceremony grew into the National Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrated each spring when the trees come into full bloom and the city is transformed with clouds of pink and white blossoms.There are over 3,700 cherry blossom trees in Washington thanks to an ongoing replanting program, since fewer than 200 of the original trees still survive.
