Hi Paula,
I find that Google Scholar is the best resource for these types of
new topics. You can fish around with terms like "parks behavior",
"pleasure grounds", "therapeutic park" , "hospital parks". Are you
familiar with Building Green Suite (this is by subscription though)?
It is an information source for sustainability and ecological design,
so it could be a good resource. I found topics there such as
"hospital gardens" "green healthcare facilities" and "healing gardens".
Hope that helps.
yours,
lucie
