About us
The dye plants used are grown or foraged and the exotic dye materials are sourced sustainably. The collaboration between Botanika and the Nyim Eco Community based in Somogy county was launched in 2018. The aim of the project is selecting dye plants that can be grown successfully, experienceing their growing needs and the harvesting and seed saving best practices. During the first two years we have successfully grown dyer’s chamomile, weld, madder, black hollyhock, sulphur cosmos, dyer’s coreopsis, Hopi Red Dye amaranth, mallow and a speciality: Japanese indigo. In addition, marigolds and woad thrive in our garden in Budapest.
