On Saturday, November 23, a record 128 volunteers joined the Annual Japanese Garden Fall Cleanup in Hermann Park.
JASH members with the support of the Japan Business Association of Houston (JBAH) came together to rake and gather leaves, trim back the bamboo, straighten up the flower beds, clear the streams, and tidy the tea house.
A Texas-sized ありがとう (arigatou) and お疲れ様 (otsukaresama) to the volunteers, which included a large contingency from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Inc. and its associate companies, for all their hard work and dedication to making this Fall Garden Cleanup a success.
