You may want to check out Public Garden, a magazine for those working in
botanic gardens, they have to deal with those issues regularly. The
following references came to mind immediately.

    Alexander, C., Ishikawa, S., & Silverstein, M. (1977). A pattern
language: towns, buildings, construction. New York: Oxford University Press.

    Greenhouse, R., & Socolofsky, K. (1997). Creating a Visitor-Centered
Garden. Public Garden, 12, 6-10.

    Logan, R., & Barnes, P. (1997, October). The Informed� Conservatory
Tour. Public Garden, 12, 11-13.


Hope this helps,
