This presentation covers the key plants for a dye garden and their growing requirements\, how to build a surprisingly wide color palette from your own backyard\, and the natural dyeing process — with a touch of historical context and a look at some of the creative possibilities these plants offer. \nEileen Flanagan is a fiber farmer\, fiber artist\, and natural dye grower based in Vassalboro\, Maine\, where she and her husband John have farmed 70 acres since 2018\, raising sheep\, chickens\, and ducks alongside vegetables and natural dye plants. She sells at local farmers markets\, offering vegetables\, seedlings\, dye stuffs\, and naturally dyed and upcycled goods. Her fiber art practice draws on the full arc of her farm work — from raising animals and growing dye plants to spinning\, dyeing\, and creating finished pieces. Before turning her full attention to the farm\, she enjoyed a 30-year career in community and economic development. Her work brings together a deep love of the land\, sustainable practice\, and the centuries-old art of growing and using natural dyes. \nRegister for the Natural Dye Garden: Plants\, Color and Process here!

EMROOTS elevates diverse perspectives across agriculture\, forestry\, and fisheries to spark collaboration and shared learning. Through this annual event\, we cultivate creativity\, dedication\, and partnerships that support responsible stewardship of natural resources and a more prosperous regional future. \nThis year’s half-day “Gathering” looks a little different than the 2025 EMROOTS “Conference”\, to be held every odd year (2027\, 2029…). We welcome farmers\, foresters\, industry workers\, ecosystem enthusiasts\, service providers\, and community organizations to convene in a casual setting to discuss key challenges and emerging opportunities – within and across sectors. Insights gathered during this event will help shape priority topics for the 2027 EMROOTS Conference. \nCome be a part of the conversation!! There is no cost to participate. \nSome of the themes for discussion this year will include: \n\nWorkforce development\nImproving efficiencies\nBuilding sustainable and resilient systems\nGreatest opportunities/challenges\nClimate change concerns/solutions\n\nRegister for the Eastern Maine ROOTS Gathering here!
