Why I love seeded paper and how to plant it

I write a lot about plantable, seeded stationery products because that's the main product of my company, Botanical PaperWorks. Handmade paper, and particularly seeded paper, has been a passion of mine for the last 10 years. When my Mom Mary and I founded Botanical PaperWorks in 1997, we never could have imagined the wonderful staff that we get to work with every day and the excitement and passion that our clients have for our products. It's truly wonderful!

Here's why I love plantable seed paper:

• It's eco-friendly. Instead of creating more paper waste that has to be recycled or dumped, wildflowers grow right out of the paper. The pulp mulches down into the soil and flowers spring forth.
• It's symbolic. I love, love, love the symbolism of growing wildflowers for so many of life's important events. For a wedding, it symbolizes how love grows. For a new baby, it symbolizes new life and all of the possibilities for this little person. For memorial services, it symbolizes the hope of the next life and the beauty of remembering a loved one.
• It's handmade locally. I'm proud that our products are made by hand, with natural ingredients and by local craftspeople.

There are many other reasons that I love seeded paper and stationery products made with it, but these are my top three. To learn more about how to plant Garden Greetings™ seeded paper, read our page that explains how it works.
