Volunteers Needed for Garden Cleanup Near Eastern Market

A D.C. group is seeking help this weekend to spruce up a garden created in honor of a Capitol Hill local who died in a car crash.

Friends of Kim Brenegar is asking Hill residents this Saturday to assist with the maintenance of Kim’s Garden, which is adjacent to Christ Our Shepherd Church at 801 North Carolina Ave. SE.

The cleanup runs from 10 a.m. to noon. If it rains, locals can help clean up the park Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon.

The organization dedicated the garden last year as a memorial to Kim Brenegar, who died in 2009. Brenegar, who owned The Ornamental Garden landscaping business, lived near the park.
