Susie Egan

Susie Egan is the owner of Cottage Lake Gardens, a landscape design business as well as a private garden and plant nursery located in Woodinville, Washington. The garden hosts many garden tours for garden clubs, horticultural organizations and master gardeners. Susie also gives talks on many gardening topics from Washington Native Plants to Wonderful Plants with Winter Interest.

Susie’s focus in recent years has been the study and propagation of woodland shade plants and spring ephemerals particularly Trillium, an endangered wildflower which she grows from seed.  Cottage Lake Gardens is one of the only gardens that grow almost all of the 47 different species of Trillium and many are available for purchase. In the spring, the “Trillium Tea, Talk & Tour of the Trillium Trail” is legendary and scheduled a year in advance.
