April Resident Event Ideas
We love crafting event ideas for April 2023. It’s all about the pastels, flowers, and those small things that bring us joy. These top apartment events take easy ideas and put a creative spin on them that we know your residents will love.
We are also featuring a garden event that can easily be turned into a full-blown amenity at your apartment community. We chatted with one of our Sprout Marketing members and they shared the secrets to setting up a community garden and how they host garden club meetings every month to get residents invested and engaged in the apartment community.
Remember, resident events are a great testing ground for community improvements. You can see what residents really value and then make sure that as you do any additions you speak to those needs. Plus, these additions don’t need to be expensive. A simple cart can be turned into a garden, a paw bar, or even just an office supply station.
So, let’s get to some upcoming dates on the calendar to inspire you along with some apartment event ideas your residents will look forward to.

5 APRIL RESIDENT EVENT IDEAS for 2023
Below you’ll find a few of our easy apartment event ideas for April 2023. What we aim to do in every Sprout Monthly magazine is to provide event ideas that can fit any budget as well as any effort. You can go all out or you can do something a little more scaled back. Either way, we give you all the event templates, shopping lists, and inspirational photos you need to bring it to life at your apartment community.

Flower Festival
1. Garden Party
SAMPLE FROM THIS MONTH’S MAGAZINE
Spring is all about getting your hands dirty and growing your community. Instead of just hosting a one-off event, use this as an opportunity to create a new amenity that brings your residents together to reap the rewards.
Community gardens can be done at any budget in any climate. You can build a garden in one of your outdoor areas or you can park a cart like the one we have shown indoors or out. Either way you decide to do it, the key is to get residents involved so they can lead the charge.
Apartment Event Hack: Let residents elect a leader who will organize future meetings and communicate with the on-site team as needed. This way you have assistance on managing the garden that is inline with what residents want.
2. Peeps Bar
Peeps day is April 5th and this is your sign to have a Peeps bar at your community.
Sprout Members can also easily make this a Peeps Open House by putting this set up in your model unit for residents to enjoy while they tour. Our members get access to all the design templates and shopping lists to make this easy.
3. Let’s Pawty
National Pet Day is April 11th and April is ASPCA month. Host a yappy hour for all your furry residents with toys, treats, and you can even have an “adoption station” with stuffed animals or toys for all ages and breeds.
See what apartment events our Sprout Marketing members love in our resident event e-book.
4. Sips & Succulents
We love any excuse for a plant bar and Earth Day on April 22 happens to be the best excuse. Set up a sips and succulent bar with mini plants, grow kits, and a selection of refreshments.
Grab all the designs to bring this to life when you become a Sprout Member.
5. Flower Fest
It’s officially festival season in April and we love this event for any age, but specifically student housing.
Bring the festival vibes to your residents by setting up a station they won’t forget including cupcakes, build your own bouquet, temporary tattoos, and so much more!
