10:00 am – 12:00 pm    
  
This workshop will explore gardens as places of enjoyment, connection, relaxation, and leisure. Guest speaker Kenya Miles of Blue Light Junction, an independently run studio located in Baltimore’s Greenmount West neighborhood, will lead us in a hands-on instruction of growing and using natural dyes in our region. The garden team will dye items made of natural fabric while following along as Kenya teaches the steps involved in the natural dying process. Participants are asked to bring one item made of natural fabric (linen, cotton, hemp, modal or silk) the day of the workshop. The garden team will harvest the last of our summer veggies, divide seedlings, plant cool season veggies, and discuss the importance of closing down certain garden beds for the winter.
