a community clean up of the Kurashiki Garden in Halswell Quarry Park
Members of the Japanese community had a clean up of the Kurashiki Garden at the Quarry this morning in preparation for the Cherry Blossom festival being held there in two weeks- on Sun 22nd. We hope the weather will be a bit warmer and drier to really celebrate the day.
It's a pleasure to have Consul Mr Dabide Tsunakake there as well helping out
(don't get me wrong the maintenance team there are doing a good job, we are coming out of winter. It took less than an hour and the area looks fab 🤩 the blossoms will be wonderful this year)
