Plantable Coil Bound-Calendar

I am in love with plantable products. Seed paper just makes me excited. The act of being able to make something out of a product you usually would throw out just excites me beyond the usual ideas of reusing or recycling products we purchase. I hate throwing anything away especially if it can go to an alternative use. The 2011 eco-calendar from EcoHip is an excellent way to brighten up your home or office. The decorative floral pages remind you of how amazing the eco-calendar can be once it is planted and you can actually see your calendar come alive. When the year is finished you can plant the eco-calendar near or in your yard or balcony to brighten up your area. This could be an incredible school project or community project if enough people purchase an eco-calendar. I hope to see in the future more plantable products that we take for granted and give up at the end of their “life-cycle”.

Product Description:

The 2011 eco calendarfeatures 12 fresh-from-the press designs printed double-sided on 6 sheets of plantable seed paper. These fabulous floral motifs will help you brighten your desk year-round. Each page measures 5″ x 5″. 100% recyclable and 100% post consumer waste!

To plant the paper:

◦Prepare a pot of soil or small patch of garden
◦Place plantable paper on top and cover with a thin layer of soil
◦Water well and give plenty of sunshine
◦Keep moist during germination
◦Enjoy the flowers that grow from plantable, seeded favors, invitations and paper
As the plants grow right out of the paper, look for flowers like Bird’s Eye, Clarkia, Black Eyed Susan, Poppy, Catchfly and Snap Dragon.
