When the Japanese government donated 200 Sakura trees to Brock University as a gesture of friendship between Japan and Canada in 2003, they likely never imagined a need for people to find a way to enjoy them virtually. Due to physical distancing restrictions limiting on-campus activity to essential workers, please enjoy the flurry of pink cherry blossoms in full bloom from home from the video below.

In addition to the video tour, Brock has also launched an Instagram filter featuring the trees in full bloom. Visit the @brockuniversity Instagram page on the mobile app, select the filter face icon and then click on the ‘Cherry Blossoms’ filter to open the filter and tap your screen to cycle between four cherry blossom backgrounds.
