A calendar that sprouts wildflowersby Tara Nolan |
The first thing I did this past Monday when I got into work is hang my 2010 calendar at my desk. The neat thing about this Botanical Paperworks creation is that as I rip each month off to reveal a new calendar page and whimsical illustration, I can save the old one to plant in my garden. Pages are made of cotton or 100% post-consumer waste and are riddled with North American wildflower seeds. Planting instructions are available on the site. Stay tuned to see what sprouts!
The photo below is the tin version, but I wanted to show what the pages inside looked like.

Tara,
I checked out Botanical Paperworks’ website and really liked their products. The plantable wedding invitations are a great idea.
As for the calendar, it would be better if the tin portion could be recycled, too.
Thanks for the post!

It sounds like a great product idea - give us an update in mid-summer on what “wildflowers” actually come up.
I will definitely provide updates, Dorothy! I’m very curious to see what comes up
This is such a wonderful idea! Can’t wait to see what comes up!!
