November 12 Presentation
“A Garden to Dye For,” 3–4 p.m., Thursday, November 12
Mickie Dutton will present an overview of harvesting plants and flowers in your own garden that can be used to create color for dyeing threads and fabrics. Mickie is a long-time gardener who has developed a passion for harvesting and preparing dyes from local plants, flowers, and weeds. A dedicated hobbyist, Mickie is thrilled to share her dyeing journey with attendees, her knowledge of plants to “dye” for and methods of dyeing, and her developing expertise in using common plants and weeds in our area to create color.
This presentation will be open to the public and will be held at the Tri-Area Community Center, 10 W Valley Road, Chimacum. The building faces Rhody Drive, but the parking lot entrance is on W Valley Road across from the school parking lot. The presentation will be followed by a Master Gardener Foundation meeting at 4 p.m.
