Handmade Plantable Seed Paper Sheets

Our seed paper sheets are embedded with flower, herb or vegetable seeds and will grow when planted and watered.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Paper

Our seed paper sheets are made using post-consumer paper. Environmentally friendly, the recycled paper is processed into pulp by only adding water, seeds  and air dried. The paper is rich in texture and appearance. The entire production process is Eco-friendly and no bleach, chemicals, dyes or additives is used to create or whiten our paper. We are a 100% South African company and employ people from the local community.

Handmade Paper

At Growing Paper, we make paper by hand, pretty much in the style that the Chinese invented it. We pick up used office paper from various businesses around our town of Malmesbury in South Africa. At our factory, we tear the the paper into smaller pieces and add only water to the mixture. This mixture is then turned into paper pulp using big blenders. Our paper makers use this mixture to create new sheets of paper which is pressed to remove most of the water and to bind the fibers again. These sheets of paper is then dried to form “brand new” paper.

Seed Paper Sheets

During the paper pulping process, we add flower or herb seeds. The seeds form part of the paper and completely embedded into the paper. Different size and shape seeds makes for different texture papers.

Plantable Paper that Grow

Because our handmade paper is embedded with various kinds of seeds, it will literally grow when planted and cared for. Please be kind to your seedlings as with any other seedlings it take care and lots of love to grow them.

Biodegradable Paper

During our very simple paper making process, we add absolutely nothing but water to make our paper pulp. Because there is not any other binder in the process, our paper break down very easy when it comes in contact with water.
