Seeking an innovative solution to bring lasting enjoyment to an age old gift, the greeting card, London based designers, A Studio for Design, decided to… erm, well… put a garden into a postcard!?!? Yes, bordering on the unhinged it may be, but entirely charming it is too, as the conventional element of the card remains intact – it’s postable, has space for a written message, and features a lovely little images – yet the ‘Postcarden‘ also comes with seeds, instructions and a pop-up garden plot that will grow and keep for 2-3 weeks… successfully achieving their desired extent of it’s enjoyment lifespan. Taking the shape of three distinctly British environments, the Postcarden is available as a city, a botanical gardens and a charming allotment, all printed in Wales by ‘Ethical Packaging’, with the seeds also sourced within the UK.
