Saturday July 18th 10am-12pm 

Location: Community Dye Garden behind My Muses Card Shop, before the train tracks

Join us for our monthly volunteer garden tending days to cultivate the lush blooming of the Community Dye Garden! We received a Carrboro Green Neighborhoods grant to create a beautiful garden full of plants who can be used for natural dyeing and making pigments for arts, crafts, and connecting more deeply with the earth's natural beauty. 

This month we will be doing some weeding, planting, & exploring eco printing with the dye plants growing in the garden! We will explore two different methods of dyeing fabric with plant prints for you to take home with you!

No gardening or printmaking experience necessary, but all wisdom and vision is welcome! We look forward to co- creating this garden together to share in the beauty and wonder of growing color.

We will be outside so please check the weather and bring what you need to be comfortable including water. Light snacks and drinks will be provided :) 

Community work days will happen seasonally to attend to the needs of the garden & organized by Lara Struckman. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions
