Flood waters are receding in the Kingwood area and the community is now working on cleaning up the damage left behind.
–
One place that is working to pick up is the Holocaust Garden of Hope. The garden opened a few months ago and the founder says they did expect to see flooding at some point since they are so close to Lake Houston. Parts of the garden’s pathway remains underwater, but that hasn’t stopped people from starting to clean up.
Monday is also Holocaust Remembrance Day and the founder and family friends say they are surprised by the outreach of the Kingwood community looking to help.“There’s going to be eight exhibits,” said founder Rozalie Jerome as she showed KPRC 2′s Rilwan Balogun around. “Right here is supposed to be exhibit three and it’s going to go all the way down there which you can’t tell now.”“This is my first time coming to the garden.
Jerome said she hopes all the water is gone by Wednesday so they can begin working on the next phase of the garden.
