Growing Paper Greeting Card - Sustainable Seasons Postcard Set

These postcards 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. This postcard set includes 5 postcards with 5 different designs.

The Sustainable Season Project was lovingly created by Growing Paper, in partnership with WWF and local artist Anja Stoeckigt from Papertales. These cards were produced as part of an initiative to create jobs and opportunities in South Africa, in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

How to plant (directions also printed on back of each postcard):
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 x 5.5" (no envelope)
