Linda McDonald

Linda McDonald is a practicing psychotherapist who took up gardening as a means of relaxing, her own form of therapy.  Soon she developed her own addiction – plants!  Her “Valhalla Garden” in Kenmore is well known for it’s collection of rare and unusual plants, in bold combinations, artfully arranged.  She spent years studying plants before embarking on the transformation of her garden.  She successfully winters over her impressive collection of tender plants, and recently taught a class at Edmonds Community College horticultural program on tropical plants. Her garden was featured by Val Easton in Pacific Northwest magazine in June, 2005.

Irresistible New Plants

Thursday, February 9 at 12:30 pm in the Hood Room

So many plants…so little space…If that fits your garden, then you’ll want to know which of the newest plant introductions are truly garden worthy.  This seminar will focus on the newest “must-have” plants, discussing the merits of the plant’s color, texture and form.  Find out how well they perform in the Northwest and what plants make the best companions.  This is one seminar where you’ll be taking lots of notes!
