Each spring more than 200 cherry blossom trees on the 51社区 campus in Athens produce spectacular blooms, to the delight of Bobcats and community members near and far. During the 2021 season, photographers from University Communications and Marketing documented the famous trees, from the opening of the first buds to the splendor of the trees in full bloom.
More information about the history of the cherry blossom trees at 51社区 and additional images can be found at /cherry-blossoms.
