Sasha on the Street

This week is a big holiday week in North America, yesterday was Canada’s birthday and Saturday is the US’s birthday. It is a time for bbqs, getting together with friends and relaxing.

When you bring over your host/hostess gift why not bring them a card that gives back? This week I came across ‘seed cards,’ a card that when planted will grow beautiful flowers in your garden.  So not only are they made from recycled paper and other earth friendly but they produce lovely flowers in someone’s garden (and if you don’t have a garden they work well in flower pots too!)

You can buy standard cards or create your own, definitely a great alternative to a traditional wedding, shower or holiday card. Try Botanical Paperworks, Symphony Seed Cards, Beau Coup or try to find one more local to avoid the footprint from shipping.

As I try to reduce my footprint on the environment I’m always looking for innovative ways to do my share. Not only are the seed cards one more way I can help but once in bloom bring a second smile to someone.
