A column from The Minnesota Weaver reporting on a volunteer dye garden being established at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. It describes starting dye plant seeds that need cold stratification, a talk on seedlings, and nine areas where volunteers are needed, including seed starting, garden design, weeding, mapping wild dye plants, funding, research, record keeping and a slide and yarn sample library. It also announces a May picnic and mentions a reader's dye results from a mimosa tree. The page includes an advertisement for Threadbenders.
