Sherri Ortiz–Hernandez has planted a tree in honor of My son’s Gabriel and Marcello

As you grow you will see the wonders that I have seen and one day when your older you will see the beauty of a tree. And all of the life that is captivated by that tree. Love you both more than you can imagine.

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
