Using traditional indigo dye techniques and a rich extract derived from a humble green plant\, you’ll watch your fabric emerge from the vat and transform into a signature blue right before your eyes. \nAs part of our America 250 programming\, this hands-on workshop dives deep into the science of natural fermentation and oxidation. We will also honor and uncover the complex history of indigo—one of colonial South Carolina’s most powerful cash crops—and the vital knowledge and labor of enslaved Africans who mastered its cultivation in the Lowcountry. \nUnwind\, create\, and connect while enjoying a selection of light bites and refreshments.

Led by botanist Scott Namestnik\, participants will explore a variety of native plant communities—including woodland\, prairie\, and wetland habitats—and learn how differences in sunlight\, soil\, and moisture influence plant growth. Along the way\, Scott will demonstrate how to identify native plants using their flowers\, fruits\, and foliage\, distinguish them from similar species\, and discuss ways to incorporate native plants into home landscapes. \nFollowing the hike\, Mary Wojcik will lead an interactive session on seed collection\, storage\, stratification\, and germination techniques for a variety of plant types. Participants will learn proper collection and storage methods\, when to sow seeds\, and which species are best propagated vegetatively rather than from seed. Native plants\, vegetables\, fruits\, aquatic plants\, and ornamental landscape plants will all be discussed\, providing practical knowledge for gardeners of all experience levels. \nAbout the Instructors: \nScott Namestnik is the Botanist for the Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center within the Indiana Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Fish\, Wildlife & Nature Preserves. His work focuses on botanical inventories\, habitat assessments\, and documenting endangered and threatened plant species.
