Dye Plants & Community Gardens

Adding dye plants to your community garden can be a great opportunity to spark conversations about where our clothes come from, how they are made and the impact that has on our communities.

The easiest way to start is by adding marigolds to your plot. Marigolds are generally welcome in gardens because they deter pests and attract pollinators. They are also a great plant to use for solar dyeing as a demonstration or group project. Check out the report below for more information and some great resources!
