Justin had a unique love

for Cherry Blossoms 

that we will continue, 

in his memory.

In honor of our beloved son we are asking for donations to help maintain the Cherry Trees on the National Mall in D.C., that need care and tending year round.

Last year, they reached

full bloom on 

March 21st, 

the same day 

we had to say goodbye 

to our sweet boy 

Justin Kent Simmons

07/15/2001 to 03/21/2022

For more than a century, the cherry trees on the National Mall have been living symbols of friendship and diplomacy. The trees have adorned the National Mall waterfront since 1912, when the Mayor of Tokyo gifted cherry trees to the United States.

The iconic trees on the Tidal Basin, require year-round care and tending to bloom. The Trust for the National Mall is proud to partner with the National Park Service and friends like you to steward the trees. 

The cost to maintain the Cherry Trees exceeds the federal funds available to provide for their care.  But with your help, the Trust for the National Mall and the National Park Service can provide care for the trees and ensure they will endure and flourish for years to come.

Join our mission, 

in memory of Justin,

to adopt two trees, 

one for each decade 

of his precious life
