As part of the 2020 Thrive Week line-up of events, “Tea and Zen Garden” was hosted in the Student Union lounge. Students were invited to drink tea and create their very own Zen garden from noon to 3 p.m. on Jan. 28.
Supplies were set out on tables in the Student Union lounge, including sand, a container for the garden, and rocks and plastic plants for decoration. The garden creation was self-guided, and students were able to take their garden home with them.
The tea served was the usual catered affair of the university. There were several choices of green tea, black tea, and rooibos.
Raking the small gardens appeared to be relaxing, and a small group of students creating gardens said they were enjoying themselves.
