The ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden in Albuquerque, New Mexico becomes more impressive with each passing year. One of the most delightful recent additions has been the Japanese Garden Exhibit. This rich botanic display has added a new feature that brings Japan a bit closer to Albuquerque. Beautiful cherry blossom trees become the center of focus in the Japanese Garden at the BioPark during the months of March-April (along with other beautiful spring blooms).
