Cottage Lake Gardens is a landscape design business as well as a private garden and plant nursery located in Woodinville, Washington. The garden has been host to many garden tours talks for the various garden clubs, horticultural organizations and master gardeners. The owner, Susie Egan, gives talks on many garden topics from Washington Native Plants, Trillium and other Spring Ephemerals and Wonderful Plants with Winter Interest.
Susie’s focus in recent years has been the study and propagation of woodland shade plants particularly Trillium, an endangered wildflower which she grows from seed. She has 32 different species of trillium in her garden, many of which are available for purchase.
Cottage Lake Gardens also has an annual Spring Plant Sale when the garden is open to the public for viewing. The spring “trillium tours” are legendary and usually scheduled a year in advance. See www.cottagelakegardens.com for more information.
