The Problem with Ordinary Calendars
Introducing Plantable Calendars from Growing Paper
Our plantable calendars fix this problem. Each calendar is handmade from 100% recycled paper on our farm in Paardeberg. Every page is embedded with real seeds. When the month is over, tear out the page and plant it. Wildflowers, herbs, or vegetables grow instead of waste. Your brand keeps growing all year long.
Grows after use
Each page has seeds embedded in the paper. Tear it out, plant it in soil, and water it. In 7 to 14 days seedlings appear.
Custom branded
Add your logo, message, or campaign to every page. Full colour CMYK printing on recycled seed paper. A corporate gift that lasts all year.
No plastic, no waste
No plastic coating, no wire that can't be recycled. The timber stand doubles as a cellphone holder. Everything breaks down naturally.
Handmade in the Cape
Every calendar is made by hand in Paardeberg, Western Cape. Traditional papermaking methods. Our work supports 38 local jobs.
One seed per month
Each month has its own seed variety. Alyssum in January. Basil in March. Lettuce in May. Vygies in July. Rocket in September. Tomatoes in November.
