Lynn from Little Kay Gardens is sponsoring a contest to give away a package of Flowering Gift Wrap to two winners! The recycled gift wrap is seeded with hundreds of wildflower seeds. The person receiving your gift will have a whole new way to recycle!
In a recent comment, Lynn said,
“I am a mom of two girls. Throwing out birthday party gift-wrap made me realize I had become a significant contributor to the landfill crisis in our country…. so this summer I did something about it. I reached out to an incredible horticulturist, Jim Johansen, and together we developed Flowering Wrapping Paper!
I wanted to create an accessible way for people to make a difference. This is a product we all use, and if you can give the gift of flowers as well, even better!
This pre-seeded gift-wrap is made from 100% recycled paper and currently available in 3 colors, with more on the way! The planting instructions are easy to follow and can be found with our gift cards and on our website.”
To enter:
Leave one comment on this post telling me about any green new year’s goals you made (ie, taking your own bags to the store or buying recycled paper). Two winners will be randomly selected and announced on January 22, 2009. (Enter by end of day on January 21.)
Also, please check your spam filters as the winners will have three days to respond to my email before I pick someone else.
Good luck!

I love this idea! I have seen birthday cards with seeds, but never wrapping paper. One of things I did was lower the thermostat on my hot water heater by 15 degrees. Nobody has noticed!

We are making an effort to reduce/reuse more, in addition to the recycling we already do. Instead of buying new, we are looking at repairing what we have or buying second where practical. What a fun giveaway item. Instead of recycling that paper in a bin, they can recycle in the garden and enjoy a second gift!

Our home New Years Resolution was to start being more green. We’ve changed our light bulbs & our apartment building has become more green themselves since they are now being charged for the amount of garbage the building produces. We’ve been recycling like mad, even empty toilet paper rolls & buying products with less packaging.

Thanks for the chance to win. I love trying to be more green. One thing from the 3 R’s that is always underused is to REDUCE. I plan on reducing my water usage, my electricity usage and my gas usage. It is a lifestyle change/choice but worth it for our children.

My green resolution is to become friends with Colleen S, so that I can get one of her home made shopping bags. Seriously though, I try to use my bags at every opportunity and we did use them for Christmas gifts. I think to do more cooking with the foods we grow. Some of it goes to waste. Also, we’re trying to come up with our own garden tunnel to extend the growing season. It’s under ice right now, but when it thaws we’ll get it back up and start over. So extending the garden season is part of my resolution.
