Cards that Grow, Literally

I always get a weird feeling when environmental groups hand out flyers. Sometimes, I'm annoyed: "No, I do not want another random piece of paper that I'm going to throw away before I even get home. Or, it's guilt: "I pretend to be an environmentalist but please take my flier even though I know you're going to throw it away before you get home".

PROBLEM SOLVED!
A plantable business card

It's called plantable paper, and it comes in the form of business cards (Think of the networking conversations this could spark!), fliers, invitations, post cards, and more. Just add water (and soil if you have it) and voila!

Seeds range from wildflowers all the way to the edibles like basil and chives


I'm SO doing these if/when I get married!

Thanks for the heads up Brooke! These are pretty sweet.

  1. Triscuit boxes right now, and for the past month or so, include a square you cut out and plant to grown herbs. I've seen/eaten boxes with dill and basil seeds. Googling 'triscuit home farming' seems to get it. I got the dill going, it worked! Pretty cool
