Shayla H has planted a tree in honor of Dylan M

My love, a tree has been planted that will grow, thrive and live on in remembrance of our time here together. As this tree plants roots in the ground – we shall plant our own roots together in this world. As this tree sprouts and grows – our love shall continue to flourish. As this tree matures and changes with the seasons – we will continue to develop. Just like this tree our love and happiness will only become stronger – I love you Dilly Bear!

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!
  • Trees do amazing things - check out our list of tree facts
