A Seeing Eye® Puppy Meet and Greet
A Seeing Eye® Puppy Meet and Greet offered a chance to learn about the training and the phenomenal relationship between these dogs and the people they will go on to guide.
The garden was created as a living tribute to Judy Weston to keep her vital legacy of friendship and community growing.
The township of Montclair passed a resolution in August 2021, to establish a living garden in Watchung Park as
A symbol of Judy Weston’s continued presence in the Montclair community… honoring her exemplary character, her goodness, her kindness and decades-long residence in Montclair as a neighbor and friend to so many of us.
There are countless opportunities to make this park your own and help it grow!
