Let's build a sensory garden for children with autism together in Tallahassee

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Park, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,250, and the remaining cost is $2,050. It will serve about 251 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in October 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,050 goes: • Permits and inspections: $260 • Materials: $1,550 • Safety equipment and signage: $240 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Julian
