To prevent greeting cards from becoming less original and inspiring, Growing Greetings is looking to expand the options available to consumers with its quirky edible cards. Boasting adorable designs of bearded men, confused owls and chromatically playful monsters, the products are described as "vegetable confetti."
The unique quality of this collection of edible cards is that they contain microgreens that grow in a week. The vegetation is then available for the consumer to use in a recipe. All one needs to do is assemble the creature and water the seeds.
Growing Greetings is a result of the collaborative efforts of Clorofille and Tiny Gardens. With innovative design and green thumb, the companies have been able to bring the consumer a wonderful microgreen experience.
