Collaboration With the Township

Recently, Montclair Garden Club members were pleased to meet with leaders of the Montclair Township to discuss potential opportunities and projects focusing on the environment and beautification of our community.

The meeting was a brainstorming continuation of the collaboration started this year with the Environment Committee's wildly successful greening of the Church Street Circle. This is just the beginning of exciting new joint projects, like the current planting at the Y. Working with our township officials can only benefit our beautiful Montclair, and is another step on our ongoing goal to reach out to the community.
