Send a beautiful postcard with an added twist- once enjoyed this piece of original art can be planted to grow wild flowers. A small gesture that will keep giving. Send a thoughtful note and then plant a growing gift to mark an occasion; a birthday, a new baby, a new house, a memorial…

Receive a well presented set of 3 different postcards, each showing my own original illustrations. Alongside this will be 3 sets of illustrated instructions so your recipient will understand how special their card is, and 3 kraft envelopes. This is packaged in biodegradable plastic to keep it safe at no cost to the environment.

For best results I would recommend planting in the spring. Firstly break the postcard into smaller pieces and soak in water. Secondly plant these pieces in a small pot of moist soil and keep moist (but not too wet) until small sprouts appear. Lastly, replant these sprouts outside or in a windowsill planter and enjoy. Growth and results may vary based on location, light levels and local climate.

The seeds imbedded in the paper have been ethically chosen with bees in mind, and include a mix of sweet alyssum, poppy, baby’s breath and basil. These are all non invasive species to the UK. The paper itself is 100% recycled. I would recommend that non UK users only plant indoors and away from local wildlife to avoid damage to local ecosystems.

This is a perfect pick-me-up gift for friends and loved ones and a great alternative to disposable cards and materialistic gifts.
