Abstract
Sensory gardens are an example of combining the achievements of many disciplines of science (architecture, psychology, gardening) that, when used in an appropriate way, create places with unconventional influence on a healthy and disabled person. In the spaces of these gardens all senses with different intensity are stimulated, they are not standard solutions of landscape architecture that create plant compositions – they are carefully composed places as a result of consultations with many specialists and potential users of these places to achieve best influence in their future well-being. Research has shown that places such as sensory gardens can affect the psyche, education and shorten the time of convalescence of ill patients.
