Autumn Chai & Flower Bundle Dyeing

Join Takiyah Gray and Chelsea Bravo at Maple Street Community Garden in Brooklyn for an afternoon of tea and creativity.

As the leaves change color and the weather cools, you'll help brew a delicious oat milk chai and learn about the warming spices that make each cup your own. You'll also try flower bundle dyeing, creating a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece to take home.

FREE event! All are welcome!
