Hi,
Apologies if you have found this already, but it is a great resource:
http://www.parksandgardens.org/
The Garden History society have regional groups who hold information and can help with queries. British Agricultural History Society also have a journal that has some interesting articles.
http://www.bahs.org.uk/AGHRvolumes.html
Garden History: Philosophy and Design 2000 BC - 2000 AD by Tom Turner is a useful text and has a lot of case studies. The Shire glossary is also a very useful book. Unfortunately it is one of those obscure areas and as a result the main texts are usually expensive.
