I was enthralled with Judy's garden, the quiet neighbour down the street from Keepers held some kind of botanical magic. Each time I walked by with my husband and doggy, she was nestled in the branches with a laser focus. I am a gardening enthusiast and her species and their placement were unlike any other garden I had seen. Judy came into my plant shop a few times and she showed me her award winning arrangements through her photography. Her eye and skill reminded me of the fine art and design I studied up North. She was captivating.
I will never forget the small tour she gave me of her tulips, in the Spring. We were so glad to see blooms and I instantly knew that Judy had so much to teach, but reserved her stories and knowledge for only those who were very eager to ask. Judy was beautiful, humble, generous, kind, open, spirited and ageless. She helped teach me the meaning of community with so few words. What a star. I will forever regret not spending more time hearing her stories but will continue to enjoy learning about such a complex, talented, thoughtful woman.
