used for the project include
marigolds and hollyhock.
"We're looking at simple plants
that flower with bright colours,"
Hamilton -Seeger said.
The plants will be ground down
and turned into dyes through
Trimestra-Johnston's program,
which will teach students how the
dyes can be created at home.
Other changes at the garden this
year include the planting of
thornless blackberries and rhubarb
to create some more produce from
the garden to be used throughout the
community.
Hamilton -Seeger also said the
garden will be seeing raised beds
installed this year with some new
plants. As to how those plants will
be utilized in the community, she
said people would have to wait and
see.
