Any field of study that provides an approach to the topic is of interest to us, many thanks in advance!
are you referring to 'green art' as in sculptures of bushes etc or green 'art museum'?
Thank you Mohamed and Lode! Good point about more precise wording: we are referring to the use of green space in relation/next to art museum/exhibition space, might be greenery indoors or, most often, views to outdoor green spaces.
Maybe landscape artist (started 1970s) articles and landscaping can help. Google also Hundertwasser. I know that the National Trust in the UK has an enormous expertise on historical gardens or landscapes. Another unlikely source but very good are botanical gardens with both scientific and public intrests (e.g. UGent botanical garden, Royal greeneries in Laeken, the former Belgian federal institute in Meise, the botanical gardens in Leiden, Antwerp, Amsterdam,...). Another library you might contact is the Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Also the Atocha railway station in Madrid can give you good insights in indoor gardens (I was at the opening in 1992 and I hope that after the bombings a couple of years ago it has been restored). Some old Zoo's are also very occupied with the botanical side. The Royal Zoo of Antwerp has been growing plants for all sorts of uses.
But never forget plants are also sources of entomological horror!
Good luck!
