Melanie Smith has planted a tree in honor of Mom

For my mother, who has given our family a wonderful, loving place to call home. We are so lucky to have you in our life and we cherish every memory, every hug, every errand you run for us, the amazing grandmother you are. My mom, my friend, my everything! Our love for you grows everyday. Love, Melanie, Brad, Sara and Alex

Why Paper Culture Plants Trees

  • We’re a paper company: moreso than most, trees are truly our business
  • We ALWAYS use 100% post-consumer recycled paper and/or alternative renewable fibers like cotton or bamboo which means our cards do not result in the cutting down of any new trees, however, that simply means that we do no harm to trees. We wanted to take it one step further by actively contributing to reforestation by planting trees.
  • Honestly, as founders, we knew we wanted to do something on a consistent basis and it was as simple as, we all just love trees!
