養盛園
中西珍松園
北谷植古園
中西珍松園
小西松楽園
本津翠星園
出上吉洸園
神高松寿園
神高福松園
㈱山白八松園
松田清松園
山下昭和園
尾路旭松園
Thanks for any help!

To the best of my knowledge, there aren't really "literal" translations of these. They are all place names + "garden/park." It's like asking for the literal translation of Akihabara (秋葉原—fall+leaf+plains). It's not really meaningful.
I'm just going to do a few to show you what I mean:
中西珍松園—Nakanishi-chinshouen (middle+west+rare+pine+park)
北谷植古園—Kitadani-shokkoen (north+valley+grow+old+park)
小西松楽園—Konishi-shourakuen (small+west+pine+pleasure+park)
