Early on Christmas morning I went to water the garden before heading north and so many blooms were blooming after the rain! I had to quickly harvest as many as I could and make first two dye vats. Black Scabiosa🪻gives a deep purple dye that can be altered to blue and green hues by changing the Ph balance of the water with backing soda. And Coreopsis gives all the yellows, deep orca to a buttery lemon 🌼

Our next workshop in the garden is January 18th, sign up via the Inhabit website - link in bio 🌻
