Give a gift that grows! Our handmade seed paper greeting cards are made with post-consumer recycled paper and infused with parsley, chive, and basil seeds. Write on them with whatever writing utensil feels right for you - no special pen necessary!
When your loved ones are done admiring the artistry of the card, they can easily plant the card in a pot and watch it flourish into a bright and delicious herb garden.
Dimensions
Each card is 5.25" x 4".
Materials
These cards are made with 100% post-consumer recycled paper (so no trees harmed in the making!) and infused with parsley, chive, and basil seeds.
Packaging + End of Life
Each card comes with a paper envelope that can be recycled with curbside paper recycling, or composted. The cards themselves can be planted in soil to grow into an herb garden. Simply moisten the card and plant just under the surface of some soil in a sunny spot and water regularly.
