Mark Leone's work on the William Paca garden in Annapolis comes to mind
first. There's also some other material in the Kelso and Most book.
There is also supposed to be a formal garden at Jamestown, Virginia, but
I don't think it's been excavated yet (and I'm not sure if they think
that it did indeed exist).
