Recycled
Garden 2022
Kendall
Campus, Building 2 Breezeway
Wednesday, April
13, 2022
11 AM - 1
PM
The Recycled Garden Project is
an initiative by which used/discarded paper is
recycled (processed by hand and on campus) into
beautiful, small paper cards that are embedded
with seeds from several varieties of edible herb
and native flowering plants. Once the seed paper
is planted -- this process may be started in the
optional cardboard planter, available with seed
papers -- and nurtured, it will grow into a
plant that may be either enjoyed in your next
homemade meal (edible herbs) or used to beautify
your garden and support wildlife (native
flowers)!
This year, in addition to seed papers, we
will be offering two custom-designed organic
cotton tote bags, hand-printed on campus
with one of two fun messages and the the Recycled
Garden 2022 logo, created
by MDC Kendall graphic design student, Kelly
Castillo.
Items may only be purchased through direct
donations to the Kendall
Campus Food Pantry (minimum
donation is $10) with the completion of the
order form. Quantities
of each item/variety are limited, so place
your order right away for best availability! Items
may be picked up during the event taking
place on campus next Wednesday, April 13, or
by special pickup arrangement following that
date.
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ these
instructions for how to make a donation
to the KENDALL CAMPUS Food Pantry, and then
complete the
order form. Both
your completed order form and your
donation receipt (that
you will receive by email once you make your
online donation) must be
emailed to Christina Pappas (cpappas1@mdc.edu)
for processing.
