Join us for a creative afternoon at Christianson’s Nursery as we explore the art of botanical bundle dyeing. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and dye your own silk scarf using homegrown and wildcrafted plant materials. While your scarf steams, we’ll cover the basics of natural dyeing—how to prep fabric, which plants to use, and how to continue at home.

You’ll leave with your finished scarf and a detailed handout to guide future projects. Additional pre-treated scarves and bandanas will be available for purchase.
