The Grow Your Card Kit has everything you need to grow your card at home, in a unique and sustainably crafted planter. Just choose your card, and add water and sun!
These planters are 3D printed using plant-based materials from fermented organic matter such as sugarcane and corn starch. The planters are biodegradable and tough enough to last a lifetime - just not thousands.
The planters include drainage holes at the bottom, to help protect the growing seeds from excess water that can lead to rot and bacteria.
We've updated the packaging to be more minimal and protective, and switched out the soil to a Soil Wafer - this soil wafer arrives to you in a dry puck shape, and expands when added to water. It's filled with nutrients to help start seedlings!

Under a thin layer of soil, You can plant the card indoors or outdoors, in a garden or a planter. You can read more about how to plant and care for your seed paper on our page "How To Plant Seed Paper"
What kind of flowers will grow?
We use a colourful blend of 6 wildflower seeds, both annual and perennial, including Bird's Eye, Black Eyed Susan, Clarkia, Catchfly, Snapdragon, and Sweey Alyssum.
How long does the card last?
You can keep the card on display until you're ready to plant and enjoy the next phase of it's lifecycle. Seed paper doesn't have an expiry date, but after about 2 years the germination rates will start to slowly decline. Whether you decide to plant it, put it on display, or tuck away as a keepsake, it will be a beautiful reminder of the person who gave it to you.
Can I use any ink?
Absolutely! I would advise against colouring the entirety of the card with a sharpie - but any normal amount of writing with pen or pencil or even marker will be okay for the seeds.
