Natural Dye Garden

Made possible by the We Mean Green Fund, the UNT Natural Dye Garden was founded by UNT Fibers Program students and faculty as a space to allow for the experimental growing and utilization of natural dye resources. The garden serves as a resource The Natural Dye Garden sign surrounded by bluebonnets for educating the UNT community about the benefits of natural dyeing to promote safe, sustainable behaviors.

Today, the UNT Natural Dye Garden emphasizes the importance of sustainable dyeing practices, community engagement, and community education. The garden has worked with various artists and organizations such as Make Art with Purpose, Denton County Master Gardeners Association, Big Thought Dallas, and the We Mean Green Fund's own Environmental Volunteerism Graduation Cord program!
