In recognition of this dedication & in honor of the friendship between the City of Houston & its sister city, Chiba City, Japan, Tuesday, June 19 will be proclaimed Hermann Park Japanese Garden Day in the City of Houston. "For the past two decades, the Japanese Garden has served as a visible symbol of the friendship between Houston & Chiba City," said Houston Mayor Annise Parker.

In 1912, the People of Japan gave to the People of the United States 3,000 flowering cherry trees as a gift of friendship.

Final Report September 4, 2015
Final Report September 4, 2015 planhouston.org Houston: Opportunity. Diversity. Community. Home. Introduction Houston is a great city. From its winding greenways, to its thriving arts and cultural scene, to its bold entrepreneurialism, Houston is a city of opportunity. Houston is also renowned for its welcoming culture: a city that thrives on its international diversity, where eclectic inner city neighborhoods and master-planned suburban communities come together. Houston is a place where all of us can feel at home. Even with our successes, Houston faces many challenges: from managing its continued growth, to sustaining quality infrastructure, enhancing its existing neighborhoods, and addressing social and economic inequities. Overcoming these challenges requires strong and effective local government, including a City organization that is well-coordinated, pro-active, and efficient. Having this kind of highly capable City is vital to ensuring our community enjoys the highest possible quality of life and competes successfully for the best and brightest people, businesses, and institutions. In short, achieving Houston’s full potential requires a plan. Realizing this potential is the ambition of Plan Houston. In developing this plan, the project team, led by the City’s Planning and Development Department, began by looking at plans that had previously been created by dozens of public and private sector groups. The team then listened to Houstonians themselves, who described their vision for Houston’s future. Finally, the team sought guidance from Plan Houston’s diverse leadership groups – notably its Steering Committee, Stakeholder Advisory Group and Technical Advisory Committee – to develop strategies to achieve the vision. Plan Houston supports Houston’s continued success by providing consensus around Houston’s goals and policies and encouraging coordination and partnerships, thus enabling more effective government.

Play Your Park – The Campaign for Hermann Park is launching soon and part of that effort is development of the #1 most-requested new feature – a Dog Park! We have just kicked off the fundraising campaign for the Hermann Park Dog Park and are looking to spread the word. We have Lauren Griffith Associates engaged as architects and are busy permitting with the city in anticipation of a late 2020 / early 2021 opening. We are reaching out to you to ask for your help in identifying individuals within your network who are passionate dog owners and also may have an interest in helping to elevate Houston’s cultural landscape by contributing their time or money to the construction of the new dog park. The attached pages provide a summary of the park and our objectives. We would be delighted to tell you more if you let us know when would be a good time to connect. Alternatively you can email the committee in charge of fundraising at [email protected] or visit the website at hermannpark.org/dogpark to learn more. As chairs of the Dog Park Committee, join us in helping the Conservancy continue its fine work to make Hermann Park a place for all Houstonians – including our four-footed friends.

Non-Native Species New to Texas with Comments on Other Species
Aplaca. J. 2012. Non-native species new to Texas with comments on other species. Phytoneuron 2012-95: 1–6. Published 16 October 2012. ISSN 2153 733X NON-NATIVE SPECIES NEW TO TEXAS WITH COMMENTS ON OTHER SPECIES JED APLACA Superintendent, Greenspace Management COH Parks and Recreation 2999 South Wayside Drive Houston, Texas 77023 ABSTRACT Two non-native plant species are first reported here as growing outside of cultivation in Harris Co., Texas, and are additions to the non-native flora of Texas. Gilia tricolor has been introduced as a wildflower along the ditches in parts of the Westchase area of Houston and Macroptilium lathyroides has been found growing in landscapes in association with nursery plants originating in Florida. Ludwigia peruviana has been found naturalized in the Houston area, only the second county record from Texas. Manihot grahamii , previously misidentified as M. esculenta , also is a naturalized species in southeast Texas, documented here from Hardin and Harris counties. Gilia tricolor Benth. (Polemoniaceae) was a very common wildflower species in a ditch near the Westchase area of Houston, apparently growing from seeds sown in late 2009. The site was visited the next two years and seedlings were observed, but it was not visited again to see if the plants were flowering. The species is native to California and also known to be naturalized in Colorado and Massachusetts (BONAP 2012). There are no Gilia species known from southeast Texas (Correll & Johnston 1970; Hatch et al. 1990). This species is characterized by its tricolor corolla; yellow with purple spots below the blue-violets lobes (Fig.
