CHERRY trees generously gifted from Japan to celebrate British-Japanese friendship have transformed Kingston Lacy s most iconic garden. The trees, which form part of the National Trust s annual celebration of spring blossom, have been planted in Kingston Lacy s Japanese Garden. Kingston Lacy, near Wimborne, was the first of the trust s properties to be gifted 100 cherry trees as part of the Sakura project - a Japanese initiative which is gifting around 6,500 cherry trees to parks, gardens and schools across the country. The seven-acre Japanese Garden was originally created in the early 1900s, by Henrietta Bankes, a horticulturalist and mother of the last family owner of Kingston Lacy. Henrietta’s daughter Viola described the garden as a perfectly ordered paradise , but it became overgrown in the second half of the 20th century.
