SUMMARY:Speaker Series with Jeff Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Join Jeff Jackson on an up close and personal tour of the Francis Marion’s botanical bounty\, both flora and otherwise. We will explore several habitats\, but primarily we will look at the incredible diversity that the pine woods offer. We will also tie in some of the rich history of the area and focus in on some of the amazing plants that make this forest so special.\nJeff Jackson grew up in upper Berkeley County\, his front yard being Lake Moultrie and his back The Forest. Since receiving a BS in Ornamental Horticulture from Clemson in 1981 he has worked as a professional landscape designer. His interest in native plants led to 30 plus years as an environmental consultant. His other love is custom hardscaping. These days you can find him either creating garden items or leading plant walks as The Hell Hole Naturalist.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Indigo Dyeing
DESCRIPTION:Discover the magic of indigo dyeing in this hands-on introductory workshop at Magnolia. Learn the basics of working with natural indigo as you watch fabric transform from green to vibrant blue through an amazing color-changing process. Along the way\, explore the history and traditions of indigo in the Lowcountry\, then create and dye your own custom textile to take home. Perfect for curious beginners and families looking to experience this fascinating craft together. \nAs part of our America 250 celebration\, this workshop makes history and science come alive. We will explore the cool science of color-changing chemistry and become history detectives together. We’ll look closely at the story of indigo—one of South Carolina’s most important early crops—and honor the incredible knowledge\, skill\, and hard work of the enslaved Africans who mastered its cultivation in the Lowcountry. \nWorkshop Highlights\nCraft Your Own Souvenir: Design and dye a custom cotton tote bag or pillow cover to take home. \nThe Magic of Blue: Discover the fascinating science of how a green plant turns fabric into bright blue through a chemical reaction that looks like magic. \nHistory Detectives: Connect with the past through a family-friendly look at early American history and the people who shaped the Lowcountry. \nBonus Admission: Extend your day with a self-guided stroll through Magnolia’s Heritage Garden and our unique indigo maze. \nWho is this for: Perfect for curious beginners and learners of all ages. No prior dyeing experience required—just bring your creativity and dress for a little messy fun!

SUMMARY:Make\, Dip & Dye
DESCRIPTION:Spend an afternoon at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens creating your own textile masterpiece. Using traditional indigo dye techniques and a rich extract derived from a humble green plant\, you’ll watch your fabric emerge from the vat and transform into a signature blue right before your eyes. \nAs part of our America 250 programming\, this hands-on workshop dives deep into the science of natural fermentation and oxidation. We will also honor and uncover the complex history of indigo—one of colonial South Carolina’s most powerful cash crops—and the vital knowledge and labor of enslaved Africans who mastered its cultivation in the Lowcountry. \nUnwind\, create\, and connect while enjoying a selection of light bites and refreshments.
