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. \nThis will take place on April 28 at 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. virtually on zoom(you will receive the zoom link in a follow up email after you register). \nRegister for The Natural Dye Garden here! \nFor more information or to request a reasonable accommodation\, contact Jennifer Cappello-Ruggiero at jennifer.cappelloruggiero@maine.edu or 207-324-2814. \n  URL:/calendar/event/the-natural-dye-garden-plants-color-and-process-virtual/ LOCATION:/calendar/event/the-natural-dye-garden-plants-color-and-process-virtual/ CATEGORIES:Conferences & Workshops,Online Events ORGANIZER;CN="91±¬ÁĎ Cooperative Extension - York County":MAILTO:extension.york@maine.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260429 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260430 DTSTAMP:20260519T023846 CREATED:20250711T174326Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250711T174326Z UID:10002463-1777420800-1777507199@umaine.edu SUMMARY:Maine Day Week DESCRIPTION:Click here to view the full 2025–26 Academic Year Calendar.

But as farming evolves\, so do the challenges—like preparing for change in long term weather patterns\, navigating labor and finances\, and planning for the next generation. \nIn this workshop\, Maine AgrAbility will present and demonstrate assistive technologies and adaptive tools for use on small-scale farms and in gardens. Participants will learn about tools and ergonomic practices that increase productivity\, reduce pain\, and support mobility. Physical tools will be available for demonstration\, and participants are encouraged to ask questions.
