A Westford Oasis

The owner of the O’Brien Farm, a 25-acre oasis in Westford, MA, received a grant for sustainable forestry and was inspired to create a young forest/scrubland that would provide habitat for species in greatest need of conservation. Join Charlie McColough, whose family has owned the property for 125 years, and Denise Pegrum, the landscape designer, to gain knowledge about enhancing wildlife habitats, supporting pollinators, and gardening with native plants. Learn about the farm’s history, landscaping progress, and plans for the future. Enjoy the hummingbird and butterfly garden, an entrance garden and a bed of heritage plants and native shrubs.
