Here is information about the “Of the Earth Seed Paper” we are handing out at our conferences:
These handmade items are made from paper formed one sheet at a time, in Seattle. They are made with 100% post-industrial waste and are 100% tree-free, acid-free fiber. Embedded in this stock is our unique North American wildflower seed blend. The seeds will need four hours a day of direct sunlight and constant watering until they are established. The plants can grow as tall as three feet. The seeds include Snapdragon, petunia, beardtongue, daisy, thyme, poppy, catchfly, maiden pinks, and chamomile. Plant flat under ¼” of soil, keep moist, and enjoy!
