Eco-Snipits

Are you one of those people that likes to send mail the old fashioned way — through the post office and everything??  Worried about the environment and wasted paper though??  Then check out this awesome product called Postcarden.

These landscapes are miniature works of art, especially once they fill in with greenery!  There’s 5 easy steps to your green masterpiece:

1.  Open the card genius!  Kidding.  Unfold it and pop it up into it’s 3D shape.

2.  Insert the tabs into the slots and tape or glue them into place.

3.  Drip water into the base of the card carefully.

4.  Scatter the cress seeds (included inside the postcard) on the paper.

5.  Keep them moist.

Put this postcard garden in a warm sunny place and voila!!  They should start sprouting in 2 or 3 days and last up to 3 weeks.  Cress plants can be eaten and the paper can be recycled after being used as a postcard and a garden.  A little urban garden that even the smallest apartment will have room for that is eco-friendly and super sustainable.

I’d love to get one or two of these in the mail!  They’re gorgeous and genius!!
