First Lady Helen Herron Taft dreamed of planting cherry trees along the Tidal Basin, just south of the White House, and in 1912 her wish was realized with a gift of thousands of trees from Japan. Now more than 100 years old, the mature blossoms are celebrated each spring with a festival and parade in Washington, D.C.
