Send ‘Blooming Splendid Birthday’ wishes with this handmade plantable card. The card has been embedded with 24 varieties of native British wildflowers specifically mixed to support bees & other pollinators. When the card is 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 card comes with an envelope made from 100% UK post-consumer waste, a recycled ‘plant me’ sticker to seal & a set of planting instructions that double as a postage protector to keep the seeds safe in transit. Size (folded): A6 - 105 x 148 mm (4.1 x 5.8 inches) WHY BUY OUR CARDS? Our plantable paper is milled here in Britain, using a traditional deckle & mould, & hung to dry in the rafters of the mill. The seeds used are all native, non-invasive species, & are hand mixed by us in our West Sussex studio. The whole making process focuses on maximising the germination rate of these seeds. This is the difference between our unique paper, & the mass produced seed paper found elsewhere - our paper grows - But don’t take our word for it, have a look at all of the customer growing shots on our Instagram page (@rubyandboshop) Not only do our cards feed the bees.. When you buy a Ruby & Bo card, you are also directly supporting & sustaining the endangered craft of papermaking in this country. We are truly 100% British made, & not just a British maker using paper flown in from abroad. This product is ethically & sustainably made by local people, using local materials. All of our cards feature our own hand drawn watercolours & illustrations, printed in house using water soluble ink. AND… We plant a tree for every single order placed, to date have planted over 17,000 both in the UK & abroad. WHICH SEED VARIETIES HAVE BEEN USED in THIS CARD?
