In the Spring of 2019 Hidden Harvests’ “annex” garden became the site of an experimental dye garden lead by Rosa Chang and Kenya Miles as Artists In Residence at M.I.C.A. in association with the Baltimore Natural Dye Initiative.

The annex lot at Hidden Harvest farm hosted Season 1 of the BNDI through a 3-semester long course at MICA. Season 2, the garden is working through BLJ to explore closed loop production systems, resource maximization through rain water catchment, composting, community run herb and dye beds as well as piloting a Dye Farm co-op with 3 partner farms in Baltimore City to produce small batch natural dye products in the Fall of 2020

Ever evolving, the garden is supported by a number of committed volunteers including artist, students, teachers, and community members invested in the cultivation, exploration and preservation of natural dyes both regionally and globally.
