How to Help Eastern High School’s Garden, Get a Free Lunch

Locals can get a free lunch from Sweetgreen if they help work on a Capitol Hill-area school garden this weekend.

The salad and grain bowl purveyor’s “Capitol Hill Service Day” at Eastern High School’s garden is scheduled for Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with the complimentary meal from 12:30 to 1 p.m. The school is located at 1700 East Capitol St. NE.

Sweetgreen is paying for gardening supplies with money it raised during a celebration it had in January when it reopened its location at 221 Pennsylvania Ave. SE.
