<div dir="auto">Hi Marsha, <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I already met with the group in Chinatown on Saturday and they don't have official permission to use the land yet.

I'm working to see if we can get to them water inside the garden area itself.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Most of the site is under the highway and in shade all the time.
