For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Acacia bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $200. It will serve about 345 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $200 goes: • Materials: $150 • Safety equipment and signage: $20 • Permits and inspections: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Nargis
