Abstract (English):
Currently, sensory gardens are an urgent issue in modern society. The sensory garden concept for groups with disabilities is an interdisciplinary approach combining the principles of landscape architecture, horticulture, ergonomics, and special education. Sensory gardens are unique spaces created to provide conditions for relaxation and therapy. The issues of the concept of sensory gardens, their importance in modern society and their impact on the psycho-emotional state of visitors are considered. According to observations, it is important to create accessible and inclusive spaces that contribute to improving the quality of life for people with disabilities and their relationship with nature, as well as to use recommendations for improving sensory gardens and parks.
