  A safe water feature - bubble fountain?
  Touchy feelly plants like Lamb's ears,Stipa tenuissima or Feather/pony tail grass and many other grasses;
  smelly plants like lavender, rosemary, thyme, camonmile chocolate cosmos; bird table/feeders;
  bright flowers like Marigolds, Hemerocallis or Daylilies, nasturtium, geraniums, Allium christophii, garlic chives, Jasminium offinicale or Jasmine (lots of different varieties)
  
  - just be careful when choosing plants on toxicity as many children put fingers in their mouths after handling plants or eating them;
  accessories like wind chimes, windmills;
  seating areas with weatherproof cushions or maybe a hammock.
  These are a few ingredients that come to mind, hope this helps.

  I recall you mentioning the subject for charity last year. Are you starting again or do you want more charity?
