Ellen Sousa/Turkey Hill Brook Farm

Turkey Hill Brook Farm is Ellen Sousa's landscape and garden design practice, based in Spencer, Massachusetts, offering landscape design, garden design, and drought-tolerant landscaping for area homeowners. Sousa has been recognized twice by the New England Wild Flower Society for native-plant garden design, and elsewhere is described as a garden coach who works with homeowners, landowners, and non-profit organizations on landscapes built around local biodiversity. She has also taught public workshops on pollinator- and habitat-friendly gardening under the Turkey Hill Brook Farm name. The Better Business Bureau rates the business A+, though it files the listing under the Farm category rather than landscaping, which is worth a quick clarifying question about scope when reaching out. Homeowners drawn to native-plant and habitat-focused garden design, rather than conventional lawn care, are the best fit here.
