Houdini's Girlfriend has a name!!!

Wednesday, February 15 2012 Posted by Carol Clark Montgomery Category Uncategorized 0 comment

Our beloved Houdini has found true love. We ran a contest to rename the trumpter swan as she was mistakenly named Doc. And the winner is (drum roll please)....Debbi Robertson. Thanks to Debbi Doc's new name is Judy Valentine.

We chose the name Judy Valentine for a couple of reasons.  Judy and Paul Valentine are two special friends of the garden.  Judy takes amazing pictures of the gardens and generously shares them with us.  Her husband Paul is a conscientous, dedicated volunteer at the Clark Garden Depot.  Yesterday on Valentine's Day Judy and Paul celebrated their 51st anniversary.  Now that's true love!!!  And lastly, Judy was Houdini's first love.  He loves to follow Judy around the garden on her visits.

Here's to Houdini and Judy (the swan) sharing many more Valentines Days together.
