What is a better way to spend a Thursday night than by testing your creative side by making a Zen garden with friends? 

APB hosted an event at which students could come and make their own Zen garden on Thursday night in the Ceddia Union Building (CUB).

The CUB Multipurpose Room was flooded with students ready to get away from the stresses of schoolwork for the night and embrace their inner Zen.


APB went all out and had many different choices so students could put their own personal touch on their gardens. The tables were set up for people to go down the line to different stations to create Zen plants and choose from several different pots and plants.

SU students make succulent plants with friends.

After the plants were put together, students decorate their gardens by adding rocks, flowers, moss, lights, stickers and more. The room was filled with good vibes as people enjoyed personalizing their plants with good music, snacks and fun with friends. 

Although some students may shy away from a relaxing night on a Thursday, many seemed to think the event was a hit, including junior Shana Louden.

“Who knew making Zen plants with friends could be so fun?” Louden said.

Students could not wait to show off their creativity and newly made Zen gardens.

“This is super artsy, that’s going on my VSCO,” sophomore Tianna Morressi said
