A sensory garden for children with autism for the old Baobab bus depot: help our neighbors in Los Angeles

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Baobab bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,500. It will serve about 482 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in September and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $3,500 goes: • Materials: $2,500 • Permits and inspections: $160 • Safety equipment and signage: $470 • Tools hire and delivery: $370 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
