Sensory Garden Brick Fundraising News:   Committee Chairperson, Pam Alderman and members, Donna Leedle, Rebekah Brockman, Dale Nord, and Peter Alderman.

The first order of engraved bricks are going to be ordered soon.   The first 100 engraved bricks will frame the water feature.   Anyone interested in being a part of this first order,  hustle.

The Lions are honored to work with the Master Gardeners in developing one of the first sensory gardens for the blind in this region.   This Garden will be landscaped in Franklin, TN., in the park behind the tennis and baseball complex near Grassland Elementary School.

This is the garden space in March of 2010, awaiting new construction. The center area around a new fountain will be the location for the first 100 pavers purchased.

This is a chance for your family friends, business, neighbors, church or club to be a part of history, and actually, be a permanent fixture in the Sensory Garden for the Blind.   These pavers will be used as curbing, bordering the gardens.   They will be a lasting statement of your generosity for all those, with or without sight, who come to enjoy the elegance and bueaty of this unique garden.

Franklin Evening Lions Club is selling engraved 4x8 pavers for $100 apiece.  The cost will cover the expense of the paver, engraving and the remainder will be split evenly to help fund the sensory garden the the Franklin Evening Club Charities.  The first 100 pavers will be featured near the center fountain with donors' names listed on a plaque in both writing and braille.
