This Indigo Plot is a Natural dye garden in the Glasgow Botanical garden curated by textile artist Elisabeth Viguie Culshaw. Set up in Covid crisis time to grow Japanese Indigo and Woad it is 3 years old and used to educate about the connection between plant and colour.
Elisabeth grows 1000 Japanese Indigo plants yearly to share with the general public.
Sustainable dyeing is a subject close to Elisabeth’s heart but she wants to raise awareness about the current risk of binging from Nature by taking out too much in a consumerist way. She wants to tell us about noticing the seasons and working accordingly.
