For organic landscapes, the basic manual is The Organic Land Care Standards

Standards for Organic Land Care: Practices for Design and Maintenance of 
Ecological Landscapes The Organic Land Care Committee of the CT and MA 
chapters of NOFA have made available the first comprehensive Standards 
for Organic Land They present a philosophy of ecological stewardship in 
designing and maintaining landscapes. Over 60 pages long, the Standards 
are the result of more than two years' work by landscape professionals, 
scientists and citizen activists. The Organic Land Care Committee was 
formed in 1999 to extend the vision and principles of organic 
agriculture to the care of the landscapes where most people live, work, 
and carry out their daily lives. Copies of the Standards for Organic 
Land Care are available for $20 plus $3 shipping and handling.

I can see this applying all over the world, the information deals with 
process, selecting appropriate plant materials and organic materials.
