Synthetic dye shortages in World 28 during WWII prompted growth of dye plants in the ‘dig for victory’ movement and natural dyeing skills were taught in ‘make do and mend’ pamphlets. As the war ended this appetite for self-sufficiency continued and became an integral part of British culture.

Home gardens, allotments and community gardens are hubs of growth and creativity. Wearing naturally dyed clothing is now normalised and dyeing skills alongside sewing, mending and upcycling are taught in schools. The food and fashion systems are now more entwined, localised, seasonal & community efforts.
