While chemicals in synthetic dyes pose a danger to soil and water systems, the colors of berries, onion skins, green herbs, and more can be captured and used as fabric dyes that are non-toxic, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic.

This program is made possible in part with funding provided by the New York City Council through A Greener NYC, a program of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Snug Harbor thanks the Staten Island City Council Delegation for their generous allocations.
