Growing Paper Greeting Card - Bird of Paradise

These cards are handmade in South Africa and have seeds implanted as the recycled paper is made into new cards. The recipient can plant the card and grow alyssum and snapdragon. All cards are blank inside; each card/envelope comes in plastic with a sticker showing the name of the artisan who created the card.

How to plant (directions also printed on back of each card):
1. Prepare some weed free soil in a pot.
2. Moisten the paper as well as the soil.
3. Place the paper a few millimeters under the soil (or just sprinkle some loose soil over the paper)
4. Water and keep moist during germination (but don’t drown the seeds)*
5. Watch your little plants grow from paper!
*To ensure that the paper stays moist during germination, you can prepare the soil and paper in a glass jar and keep the lid on in order to keep the moisture in.

Materials: 100% post-consumer waste paper with snapdragon and alyssum seeds

Dimensions: 4.75" x 6.5" (with matching envelope)
