On Saturday, December 3, 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), 37 volunteers gathered to rake leaves, re-lay stones in the dry stream garden, pull weeds, repave pathways, and tidy the tea house.
On this United Nations International Volunteer Day, we give 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!
