El diseño sensorial de jardines generalmente se basa en los cinco sentidos aristotélicos "Sentido (percepción)"), pero también puede incluir otros sentidos como la propiocepción y el equilibrio.[6]​ Además de las plantas, pueden incorporarse elementos no vivos, como elementos acuáticos y esculturas.[7]​.

Vision

The visual components of a sensory garden include traditional garden elements, such as colorful plants and flowers, which are sometimes grouped together to help people with vision problems.[8] These plants can also be used to attract birds and butterflies to the garden, which can add additional visual variety.

Hearing

The sound components of a sensory garden are usually elements that make sounds naturally in the breeze. This includes plants such as bamboo, grass and trees, as well as non-living items such as bells and wind chimes. Water features and birds are also common sound components.

Less common sound components include things like hand instruments (such as drums), echo spaces, and timbre steps.

Sensory gardens can be designed specifically for people with dementia,[9]​ a disease that can affect different parts of the brain and many aspects of daily life, including memory, where everyday tasks such as walking or eating are often difficult. Sensory or therapeutic gardens can be used to help reduce the symptoms of dementia without the use of drugs by stimulating the senses, exercising various parts of the brain. Sensory gardens can provoke positive emotions in people living with dementia and help improve their quality of life.[5]​.

Design features may include water features that produce soothing sounds, beds of herbs and flowers to pick and smell, and benches with different types of sand or pebbles to sink your feet into.[10]​ For example, in a sensory garden located in Port Macquarie, Australia, a person enjoys dipping their toes in the sand as it evokes memories of Australia, while the gravel reminds them of Scotland, where they were born, which they do not enjoy as much.[9]​ Other potential benefits include a calming and relaxing place that provides an easy and safe way to exercise with a feeling of independence.
