Support from Nikkei (Japanese)
(Japanese) We the gardeners owe a lot to Nikkei, Nisei, or Issei who helped us with everything. When I saw an Asian person, I assumed he was Nikkei. It was like that. People like them told me a lot of things, like how they struggled in the past and I learned a lot from them. They helped me with all kindness and I’m truly grateful for them.
