I'm talking about greeting cards made from organic paper with flower seeds embedded in it, so that instead of throwing them away, you can bury them and watch them grow into flowers.I've checked out websites, but I need some more info from common people. I would appreciate any answers. Here are the Qs:- Have you (or Would you) buy it?- If you have (or would), what is/was it for? Personal needs (for family or friends) or company needs?- And for what occasions? Like wedding greetings, Birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas, or can it be used as wedding thank you gifts for the guests?- Would these cards be more suitable for kids, teens, adults, or perhaps older people?- Do you think using plantable cards classify as "green" (eco-friendly) attitude?- Any other info you'd like to add?Thank you so much! This is very urgent. Back to top Joanne A. W Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 8:47 am    Post subject: Check with local gardening centers/nurseries to see how it will sell. Or email the offices of gardening catalog companies. The best place to sell from would be gardening catatogs. Here are a few to contact:http://www.waysidegardens.com http://www.dutchbulbs.com http://www.jacksonandperkins.com (Roses) http://www.parkseed.com http://www.burpee.com Other catalogs:http://www.leevalley.com http://www.gardeners.com There are many many more, this is just a few.

It's a GREAT idea.Yes, some cards have been made from paper with seeds impregnated in, and thet would suit any occassion. Usually they are blank cards so you can put your own wording on. All your suggestions sound great.I have bought some in the past, and they were appreciated and enjoyed long past the birthday itself.Good luck, and you will have very happy friends who have a great friend!!!

It was impregnated with wild flowers and after planting it i got wonderful poppies and blue cone flowers etc , they in turn self seeded and i still have some come up now.It sounds like you are thinking of making and selling them?
