Good weather for gardening. Lettuce planted, freshly cut willow rods gathered for making pea trellises, the madder's coming back to life, and I even found a cool friend. #zone8b #gardensky #homesteading #cottagecore #selfsufficiency #foodgarden #dyegarden #DIY #spring

Our Conservation team has created a pigment for research using woad grown in their Dye Garden at the UL. 🌱

This video explains the process! 🧪

Over two days participants learned about natural dyes, prepared fabric dye bundles for steaming, and spent time in the dye garden before unveiling their beautiful, naturally-dyed scarves.

Participants in our recent #NaturalDyeing program got hands-on with #marigolds, dyer’s #coreopsis, and #hibiscus. They harvested blooms from our dye garden, let them “cook,” and created beautiful, one-of-a-kind fabric swatches. 🌺✨

Handful of freshly picked sunny yellow flowers with chives, coreopsis bush, oregano, and cranesbill, oh and calendula in background

Freshly picked coreopsis flowers. I usually cut them when they're full like this, stick them in a vase, and save the petals that fall. Im not a big fan of yellow dye though, so maybe the petals will need to find a new home or maybe they'll just get composed. #PNW 🌱 #DyeGarden

The woad has keeled over in excitement from last night’s rain #dyegarden #mygarden #gardening #greenheart 🌿💚🌱

Little seedlings growing in the courtyard of the UL. We see a wooden plant label that says: "The Dye Garden".

Our brand-new Dye Garden is coming to life! With guidance from colleagues across the UL, and
@cubotanicgarden.bsky.social, our Conservation team has planted traditional dye plants once used in manuscript painting. 🎨

I’m starting a bunch of dye plant seedlings this year. They have a guardian ❤️🌱🐈 #naturaldye #dyegarden #seedstarting

The rain spotted briefly but then held off nicely so there has been much weeding. Whilst not perfect: the Smell me and Dye Garden is looking much improved and ready for more planting #mygarden #rosegarden #dyegarden #gardening #greenheart 🌿💚🌱

Meanwhile in the Dye Garden the woad is preparing to flower. #gardening #dyegarden #naturaldyes #mygarden #greenheart 🌿💚🌱

Close-up view of young seedlings sprouting in a plastic seed tray filled with dark soil. The seedlings have thin, pale stems with a reddish-purple hue and small green leaves beginning to unfold. Some still wear the black seed coats on their tips. Wooden plant markers with handwritten red labels are stuck into the soil behind the seedlings, indicating different plant varieties. The background is softly lit by a nearby window.

My Hopi black sunflower seedlings are sprouting!

I love seeing the sprouts of dye garden plants pushing up through the dirt!
