This garden is the crown jewel of the entire restoration project. The flowers cost $150,000. But it cost four times that for the layers upon layers of work in this garden that people never see, such as the archeology, the engineering, and the irrigation.
It is only open to students now and we basically worked out an agreement with the AA where they are still going to pay for maintenance, but the CRC is in charge of operating the facility. They check people's BuzzCard, maintain the facility, and check for non-marking shoes.
The compromise we made with the AA this time was a fair one. It is a privilege for us to use these courts and in order to continue using them we need to work together so that the courts stay in good condition.
