Margaret Payne will present four-seasons of gardening in her wonderful cottage garden. Margaret has been gardening for 44 years in Washington, beginning in Gig Harbor with the birth of her first child, and for the last 14 years on Orcas. Her earliest, happy memories of gardens are “cottage” or, as she calls them, “Granny,” gardens (as she now is a grandmother).

She describes perennial gardening as “the easiest, most abundant and diverse, least costly, healthiest (for both gardener and resident plants and animals) and most satisfying of all garden styles.”  Her Orcas garden has been on the garden tour twice, most recently this past summer. She loves sharing it with others.
