In 2008 she became a docent at San Diego Botanic Gardens (formerly Quail Gardens) and in 2010 became a Master Gardener. During her years as an MG, she has taken many roles. Her latest direction has turned towards teaching again. In between her volunteering, Linda enjoys traveling and hopes to make it to all of the countries in Europe while she can still smell the roses, or wisteria as the photo shows... taken in Scotland in 2022.
