Copycats Natural Dye Workshop

Participants will forage plants and flowers from Ellume Garden to dye their very own bandanas. Each participant will leave with a 22 x 22 inch natural cotton bandana.

Regeneratively grown organic herbal teas grown in Ellume Garden will be served throughout the workshop

*If you wish to dye and upcycle an old piece of clothing or bring your own fabric please reach out to Jade and Erika via [email protected]. We would need to coordinate in advance to prepare the fabric for the workshop

Ellume Garden is nurtured by owner and steward Jade Luu, a permaculture designer & California native plants landscape gardener. The garden was designed and grown according to permaculture and regenerative principles, avoiding the use of any synthetic or chemical fertilizers or amendments with a heavy emphasis on perennial and California native species planting and mulching to mimic a natural forest floor. Ellume Garden offers creative and immersive experiences for all to restore and connect within, with one another, and with Nature.
