Linda Cochran, an accomplished plantswoman and long-time Pacific Northwest gardener, had an acclaimed Bainbridge Island garden known for its lush, tropical style. It was featured in many books, magazines, and TV shows. 10 years ago, she went in the opposite direction, moved to Port Ludlow, and created an amazing new garden. We’ll enjoy her stunning photography while she tells us about this drought-tolerant garden that features many plants native to the arid west. Linda now spends much of her time in the summer traveling to wildflower hot spots in the region and photographing wildflowers. Her goal is to grow as many of these native wildflowers as she can. She has spoken to many groups, both in the region and elsewhere, including internationally, about our region’s amazing wildflowers.
