Dewsbury Town Centre Planting Workshop

Artists and community groups across Kirklees have been busy planting dye gardens and learning how to naturally dye their own textiles and garments. As part of this project dye gardens have been popping up all over the district, help us plant another one at this exciting town centre gardening workshop!

Together we will learn how to plant and look after a town centre planter. We will plant plants perfect for harvesting to make natural dyes. We will use a range of plants and learn about their colour properties, take away a free growing pack and some seeds so can continue planting beyond the workshop!

We will be meeting outside Greggs on Foundry street in Dewsbury and will be working directly into the X5 planters on Foundry street, turning them into small dye gardens. Come and help us transform the empty planters!

This session is suitable for adults with a particular focus on inviting women and girls in the community to take part and explore the wellbeing benefits of gardening and textile.
