Today I hosted 3 UT Art Graduate students and showed them the winter dye garden. Even though all outside was frozen or dormant there was plenty of color in the studio to show them. It was a fun 3 hours of give and take and seeing the art world thru their eyes.
The indigo suffruticosa is cut back and dormant but the seed pods were beautiful.
The madder root bed was frozen back but we weeded and looked at the roots gleaming with color.
The Japanese Indigo beds lay fallow waiting for their early spring turning of the soil. Some frozen indigo leaves showed their true colors.
