Our Story

We want to begin 2011 by thanking all of our customers who supported us in 2010. Your patronage has made it possible to maintain our commitment to excellent service.

Howard and Francine Shear own Echobrook Nursery as a team. Howard, a graduate of The Stockbridge School of Agriculture, is a landscaper of thirty-five years. Francine, a graduate of Becker College (Retail Design), worked in the retail field for fifteen years. Combining their experience in landscape and retail management, Francine and Howard opened Echobrook Nursery in 1998. They used their knowledge and expertise to start a business based on their passion for plants, gardening, and quality home decor and eclectic gifts. Echobrook Nursery is a full-service garden center as well as offers services in residential and commercial landscape design, floral design, and outdoor living concepts. In addition to be a local garden center, Echobrook is also a specialty gift shop. The shop carries gifts for any personality or occasion and specializes in home-accents, holiday gifts, accessories and jewelry. If you have not visited Echobrook before, Spring is the perfect time to make a visit.
