Photo Essay: STU Sustainability hosts ‘Paint-a-Pot’ and Plant Sale

STU Sustainability hosted a Paint-a-Pot and Plant Sale on Nov. 4 in Sir James Dunn Hall, which acted as a fundraiser for the society. Students looking to grow their indoor plant collection got a chance to browse the plants and paint their own pots.

The Aquinian’s photo editor, Daniel Salas, stopped by the event and this is what he saw.

Gina Mitchell was in charge of selling the pots for the plants, and giving to the buyers the respective name of the plant they bought. (Daniel Salas/AQ)

Each specific name for the plants was printed on small sections, to later be given to the buyers so they understood the ways they needed to take care of them. (Daniel Salas/AQ)
