I love these plantable wildflower cards! I’ve always felt bad about throwing birthday cards and greetings cards in recycling and I have drawers full of old cards that I can’t bear to throw away, so I think the idea of enjoying a card and then being able to grow wildflowers from it, is absolutely brilliant! These beautiful cards are designed by Sophie in Brighton and made from 100% recycled materials which are embedded with 11 varieties of British perennial wildflowers and grass seed. Once your loved one has enjoyed the lovely message you have sent them, they can plant the card afterwards and grow wildflowers! This lovely bright birthday card is a gift that will keep on giving to both the recipient and to the bees, butterflies and insects too.
Each image is drawn with black ink and painted with watercolours and then altered using photoshop to make bright illustrations. The cards are printed with edible inks so the inks don’t harm the soil once it’s planted. Full instructions are on the back of the card.
Size (folded): A6 – 105 x 148 mm (4.1 x 5.8 inches)
