On Saturday, December 4, JASH hosted the Annual Fall Japanese Garden Cleanup in Hermann Park.
Under the guidance of the Hermann Park Conservancy (HPC) and with support from the Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD), 65 volunteers gathered to rake leaves, spread mulch, dig up stumps, pull weeds, rid trees of ball moss, and tidy the tea house.
Among the volunteers were the newly-arrived Consul General of Japan in Houston, The Honorable Hirofumi Murabayashi and his wife Aurora, and HPC President and CEO Doreen Stoller.
A Texas-sized ありがとう (arigatou) and お疲れ様 (otsukaresama) to everyone who gave of the time and effort to ensure the Japanese Garden is looking its best as we head into the holiday season.
