The Natural Dye Garden Club (NDGC) is a student-run organization dedicated to developing sustainable approaches to textile and fashion design.

The natural dye garden project addresses global challenges and underscores FIT's commitment to sustainability. The project involves a roof top dye/plant garden which also incorporates rain collection and composting. The Rooftop Natural Dye Garden is connected to the Fiber Research and Natural Dye laboratory, where teams of students perform natural dye research using organic compounds produced by living organisms.

Global textile production places an alarmingly heavy burden on this planet's resources. Excess water use, toxic effluents, the use of petrochemicals on fiber plants as well as in synthetic dyes, and intensive farming practices are all problems that directly contribute to climate change. In this project, student design-teams at FIT SUNY Korea will discover new dying methods through hands-on exploration of natural plants, and more importantly, give the FIT population a tangible way to move away from these practices.
