Oh great Librarian Goddess - how would one go about getting some of those articles? Meaning, which part of my library do I need to go to and what specifically do I need to ask them to do for me?

The only one that doesn't make me salivate is the one on serpentine walls.

The simplest thing to do is to ask at the reference desk whether your library has access to back issues of Garden History. You can tell them that you have heard it is archived on the electronic service JSTOR. If it's an academic library, they can tell you if they have a JSTOR subscription and if Garden History is part of it.
Otherwise, go through Interlibrary Loan... I'll post more examples of articles as I find thme.
