REGISTER for a share in the Natural Dyers’ Cooperative Garden 

Means of the Production Garden in Mount Pleasant becomes the site for research, work and crop share for a small group of dedicated individuals interested in building community while growing and tending natural dye plants.

Over six months together we will plant, tend and harvest various plants at MOP for shared use and  equal division. Participants agree to attend a minimum of 10 of the 15 offered work dates as well as the site orientation and to work in a collaborative and cooperative way within the small group. Monthly studio sessions at Trillium North Park allow time for prepping our fibres and cooking up seasonal dye baths. Cost includes an unprocessed  fleece and sample yardage of silk, merino knit and linen for swatches. An incredibly successful program in 2017, more studio sessions and material for dying has been added to this year’s program
