As I said pallet planting ( I am just doing a strawberry one) dead easy drilled plank on the bottom and weed barrier matting on the back! cheap yet oh so effective
Hi Tattiana Can't wait to see whare you go with this, Just wish I lived a little or even a lot! closer than I do so I could help. Have loads of seeds so would quite happily pass on anything you fancy. Do you have "Freecycle" in your area? Its an online website where you offer something and can then ask for something...no money involved. You could get free plants paving even possible offers of manual assistance if you let them know what you are doing.
Made a sensory garden for a special needs school next to my kids primary school many years ago. You have many suggestions for plants with smell and sound...rustling grasses etc. Can your daughter use her arms at all? If yes then think of touch too. Soft, fluffy plants like artemesias. This is one of my favourites

Stachys byzantina aka lambs ears...because thats just what they feel like.
Sagina subulata, mounds of softness.
Plant flowers that produce seed heads that can be rattled...poppies, nigella and Aquilegia spring to mind.
You have many scented plants mentioned already but one you really must include is Aloysia triphylla...lemon verbena it is the best smell ever!
Dare I say hang windchimes? Know lots of people hate them and any garden ornaments that reflect light.
