With little help, Annie cleared five acres of her land and planted a sprawling garden. The garden was a source of income throughout her life, as she sold bulbs and plants by mail. She also operated a general store and post office from her plot of land. Annie rarely left her property, where she lived until her nineties. Ailing and mostly blind, she was removed to Port Alberni , where she died. Local resident Peter Buckland recovered Cougar Annie's garden. He has established the non-profit Boat Basin Foundation, which manages the garden and runs the Temperate Rainforest Field Study Centre which has been built on a ridge overlooking the garden.
