Our rectangular cards are handmade from 100% recycled paper that are embedded with seeds, so they can be planted to grow a variety of flowers, or herbs and vegetables. Each eco-friendly card has a print of original artwork from a South African illustrator or artists.
Let the loving message you write in this card grow into more than just words for the receiver. Whether it's to say thank you, celebrate a wedding, or congratulate someone, this card will take root in their heart... and their garden!
This card was designed by Cape Town-based artist and photographer Alexander Maritz as part of his Nostalgie range, which is a collection of botanical drawings devoted to the flowers of our childhood.
Rectangular cards measure 95 x 140 mm. Each unit comes with a locally-produced brown paper envelope made from recycled material, and contains planting instructions for the seed paper. Cards are packaged in a plastic sleeve.
