How many times have you had a party and just thrown away the decorations? Our wedding garland is the perfect eco-friendly solution to eliminating all of the waste. After your event is over, you simply cut up the garland and plant it in a pot or in the garden. Each paper heart is embedded with wildflower seeds that will sprout and grow. You can even send your guests home with some and they will have a lasting remembrance of your event!
This listing is for one 10' garland of white hearts sewn with 100% cotton thread which will break down in the soil. The individual hearts measure 2' x 1 1/2" Each end of the banner will have approximately 10 inches of thread to make hanging easier.
The garland can be hung in one continuous strand as shown in the first picture or cut into smaller lengths and hung vertically as shown in the third picture.
To plant, simply soak the paper in water, plant about 1/4" deep, water for 4-6 weeks and watch your seeds sprout.

Remember that annuals will bloom the first year but perennials usually don't bloom the first year. Also, while planting is simple it is not foolproof. The seeds will need to be monitored to ensure they are receiving proper water.
***It is recommended that these be planted in 2013. If your event is later in the year, I can arrange production and shipment closer to your event.
CURRENT PRODUCTION TIME IS 1 WEEK. Rush orders are available. Please contact me for details.

I am currently not shipping outside of the United States because of customs restrictions regarding live seeds.
