Gardening on paper

Photo credit: Baltimore Sun/Robert Hamilton

This is the kind of gardening paperwork I can get my head around!

And it is not the kind with graph paper and square-foot-to-square-inch conversions. Not a catalog order or a plant list.

Botanical Paperworks makes plantable paper products embedded with North American wildflower seeds. Everything from note cards and calendars to wine bottle gift tags; invitations and business cards.

In addition, no trees were sacrificed to make this paper. It is all recycled fiber.

To order, and for instructions on how to make your paper bloom, visit botanicalpaperworks.com

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
