Wyckoff photos sought for calendar To celebrate Wyckoff’s unofficial status as “The Garden Town in the Garden State,” the team behind the township’s award-winning municipal calendar is seeking the participation of residents in creating the 2011 calendar. Residents of all ages are asked to contribute photos that show what their gardens look like – from flowers in bloom to ripening vegetables to the many “heritage” trees that adorn the community. The goal is to appreciate the natural beauty that characterizes Wyckoff. The calendar team’s goal is to present a complete picture of how the township’s gardens grow.
