Beautification Committee

Caring for Hill City, together.

Our Hill City Beautification Committee helps keep our neighborhood welcoming, cared for, and connected. Through regular cleanups, garden stewardship, and community-driven projects, we aim to reflect the pride we feel in where we live.

Whether you're pulling weeds, picking up litter, or just sharing conversation while walking the loop — your time makes a difference. Everyone is welcome, and there’s no commitment required. Just show up when you can and pitch in.

Monthly Beautification Walks

Our Beautification Walks are simple: show up, check in, and grab supplies (we provide trash bags, gloves, and pickers). Then head out with neighbors to help clean up litter in the streets, sidewalks, and green spaces throughout Hill City.

Many participants walk in pairs or small groups, chatting as they go. And we always end with something refreshing and a small treat back at the Community Center. Learn more about our Beautification Walk here.

  • Weed pulling and light maintenance

  • Seedling replanting and garden learning

  • Creative projects like painting rocks or making plant markers

  • Seasonal community events like our Party in the Pollinator Garden

Gloves, tools, and water are provided, but feel free to bring your own favorite trowel or kneeling pad.

The garden is a gift to the neighborhood, thanks to the vision and ongoing care of Danielle Owens. It’s designed to nourish native pollinators and bring a little everyday beauty to our corner of the city. Learn more about it here.
