Greeting card: Pangolin

Our rectangular cards are handmade from 100% recycled paper that are embedded with seeds, so they can be planted to grow flowers or basil and tomatoes.

Each eco-friendly card has a print of local artist Martiza van Zyl. She is a mixed media artist based in Malmesbury. She considers painting her best friend, her studio as a place of solace and the Naïve Art style she creates gives her the freedom to paint and produce from her soul. She draws inspiration from artists like Henry Matisse, and Marc Chagall. “Colour me Africa” is her bright and beautiful interpretation, depicting the South African fauna and flora as legendary characters from a magical world.

Whether it’s to say thank you, celebrate a wedding, or congratulate someone, this card will take root in their heart… and their garden!

Rectangular cards measure 140mm x 95mm, folded. Each unit comes with a locally-produced brown paper envelope made from recycled material, and contains planting instructions for the seed paper.
