Westborough - The Keogh brothers of Westborough, (l to r) Michael, 7, Tyler, 2, and Matthew, 10, sit in front of the "Living Memorial Garden" Sept. 1 at Hastings Elementary School. The garden is a tribute to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The boys joined their parents, Sean and Kim, to finish up a summer project they adopted as a family - to weed and spruce up the garden and the flower beds in front of the school. With the help and advice of Susan Barnhart of the Westborough Garden Club, the family chose what to keep and also added some new plants and mulch.

Finishing the project Labor Day weekend was important to the Keogh family so that the garden would look its best Sept. 11.
