Celebrate Spring with this joyful handmade plantable notecard set!
The set contains six notecards, each featuring one of our handpainted illustrations.
The cards have been handmade in Sussex using our own unique seed paper embedded with native British wildflowers seeds. The seeds have been locally sourced and mixed in house to support bees and other pollinators.
When the cards are planted, the paper will compost away to leave only flowers. A mix of annuals to provide first year colour, as well as perennials, which will flower from year two.
The cards each come with an envelope made from 100% UK post-consumer waste and six planting instructions that double as postage protectors to keep the seeds safe in transit.
**PLEASE NOTE: These are notecards, smaller than our standard greeting cards, and measure (folded): A7 - 74 x 105 mm (2.9 x 4.1 inches)**
These cards are also available to purchase individually - Please see our Etsy shop for the relevant listings, or visit our website.
WHY BUY OUR CARDS?
Our plantable paper is milled here in Britain, using a traditional deckle and mould, and hung to dry in the rafters of the mill. The seeds used are all native, non-invasive species, and are hand mixed by us in our West Sussex studio. The whole making process focuses on maximising the germination rate of these seeds.
Not only do our cards feed the bees.. When you buy a Ruby & Bo card, you are also directly supporting and sustaining the endangered craft of papermaking in this country. We are truly 100% British made. This product is ethically and sustainably made by local people, using local materials.
All of our cards feature our own hand drawn watercolours and illustrations, printed in house using water soluble ink.
AND… We plant a tree for every single order placed, to date have planted over 28,000 both in the UK and abroad.
