The DIY Bonsai Night took place on Friday night, Feb 27.
This event happens once a semester as part of a student project for the plant science major.
Over 100 students came to make their own bonsai trees with direction from plant science students.
Once inside, pots, decor and plants were provided, as well as step-by-step instructions. As a result, students were able to have a soothing escape from the stress of the semester through the ancient art of bonsai.
