Made in SLU

Formerly known as Plant Camp, Made in SLU is a crafting series held every other week from May 27th to October 28th, 2026, in collaboration with Good Blooms (formerly SLU Bouquet). These unique events are free and open to everyone, offering a fantastic opportunity to unleash your creativity and take home your handmade creations each time.

How Do I Join In?

Each event will be held at Nitro Plaza from 12 pm to 3 pm. This is a walk-up event, operating on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited space. To sign up for Made in SLU, simply scan the QR code on the “Check In” signage at the event—no pre-registration required.

Given the popularity of this event, wait times can vary, so please be patient as we work to accommodate everyone. Each craft can be completed in about 30 minutes or less, making it a perfect choice for a quick mid-day break.
