Spring is not far and with it the farmers will start planting seeds and planning their dye plants spaces. As everyyear I will set up The Indigo Plot in the grounds of the Glasgow Botanics in Glasgow. This year is probably the last year I will grow there. Farming for dyes is time consuming and I have now been growing for 5 years. I would like my time back to concentrate on other eco projects I have at heart.
For one last time I am offering this sharing group to those who are interested to start growing but don’t yet have the confidence to do so on their own.
In this growing group we will meet up around once a month to share notes about growing wherever we are. If you live in the UK I can send you 50 seeds of Japanese Indigo which will grow in compost or in your garden (ground or pots)
Please note:
- All sessions will be fixed in advance and happen on zoom, recorded for display, I will share my experience but this is not a teaching group so I will not answer personal messages by emails or messengers.
- All communications will be done in the FB group (private) so be prepared to use FB if you want. No exceptions.
- I am not able to send seeds overseas.
- If you would like to join the dye sessions in the summer you will have to do so by clicking the button and buy a space i will not answer questions regarding dyeing outside the registered group.
- It will be fun and very rewarding.
- YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO WATER YOUR PLANTS IF YOU WANT SUCCESS.
