Romer, John and Elizabeth  The Seven Wonders of the World, A History of the Modern Imagination (London: Seven Dials, Cassell & Co.; 1995. Paperback edition, 2000), esp. pp. 113-117, which state, summarized, that there are no known contemporary records of the Hanging Gardens (a mistranslation of a term which is closer in meaning to "farmer's terrace") despite 1) existence of detailed city records and 2) Nebuchadnezzar's marriage to Princess Amytis soldering a vital alliance between Media and Babylonia that had broken Assyria for ever and prompted Babylon's rebuilding. All early records of the Hanging Gardens are preserved as quotes in the writings of later classical historians, beginning at least two centuries after the Gardens' alleged existence. The companion descriptions there of the city of Babylon are themselves somewhat steeped in literary exaggeration by then. Widespread Middle Eastern traditions of the Garden of Eden seem to have also influenced the image of the Hanging Gardens which developed.
