Seeding the Blues

Indigofera is at the root of a fruitful friendship between three land stewards and natural dyers in the DMV area. Sun English Jr., Kenya Miles, and Rosa Chang walk us through the spiritual, medicinal, and historical elements of indigo dyeing. In this episode, we discuss how caring for this plant helps us connect to our ancestors and the soil through craft and stewardship.
