You are probably coming to this page because you have been given a seeded Christmas card or a Christmas present that had a seeded paper gift tag. You may be excited to grow some flowers (in which case you can jump right to the
planting instructions) or you may be a little skeptical that the piece of paper that you are holding can actually grow flowers right before your eyes - but rest assured, it can! In fact, it will grow many types of flowers (a full list can be found
here).
Your card or gift tag is made entirely from post-consumer paper (junk mail, bills, packaging, envelopes and printed paper), which has been recycled into a new sheet of handmade paper and embedded with wildflower seeds.
Of course, if you just stumbled across this page by accident, then you are probably feeling a little disappointed that the only paper around you is boring regular paper that will not grow flowers no matter how hard you try. Never fear! In the near future we will be making greeting cards, gift tags, postcards, calendars and other paper goods from this eco-friendly plantable paper and selling it in our
Etsy store and at local markets.
If you would
like to sign up for our newsletter and be informed of updates such as when our Etsy store launches or when we will be at local markets, please sign up here.
Please email us at - tara.growme [AT] gmail.com if you have any questions or suggestions, or if you:
- have photos of your paper sprouting seedlings or would like to show us the flowers that grew from your paper (to add to our gallery),
- have paper you would like to donate to be given a new life as a grow-it-yourself floral bouquet (all paper donations large and small are appreciated).
In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy your gift that keeps on giving. Feel free to read a little bit more about us here.
