GOODWILL GARDENING

Goodwill Gardening is Brenda Goodwill, and that is the whole crew — a self-described "one woman show" working gardens around Shrewsbury and North Grafton in Central Massachusetts. She trained as a Master Gardener after a corporate career and years managing gardening crews in the Pittsburgh area, and the company says it started in Shrewsbury in 2018, eight years by its own count. The work she describes is planting, garden design and ongoing maintenance visits rather than large landscape construction. Her Houzz profile lists a Tree Tender credential alongside the Master Gardener one, plus licence number 83-0780704. On Google she carries a 5-star average from two ratings. A one-person gardener suits a homeowner who wants the same hands in the beds every few weeks rather than a construction crew. Ask how her season books up and how often she can return for maintenance visits, and confirm insurance before the first visit.
