I want to run a 110volt shallow well pump for garden and watering. Hoping to find a submersible like people use in deep cased wells, but this well is only 15 feet deep. Any recommendations on this type of 110Volt pump?

Not much margin for error at only 15’. Id make sure you you have a safety Incase it runs dry.

I have a hand dug well that I just used a 1/4-1/3 hp sump pump with the garden hose fitting. I used this for filling a storage tank at the house. Worked well for 30 years. Now, I have removed the tank and have mounted a Grundfos pump out at the well to push the water and charge my system.

I would recommend a Grundfos also. Be certain you have some form of "run dry" protection. Pumps do not come cheap.

Goulds makes a good pump.

I have heard good things about Grundfos but never owned one . I have had a couple Goulds and they have been excellent .
The brand I won't buy because of previous experience(s) with them is Myers , yet some people I know have had good "luck" with them .
