Stephanie Diell has planted a tree in honor of Yvonne Powell (my mom)

In the fall when I was a little one we would collect the fall leaves, setting them out to dry and then press them. Later you would point out the blooms in Spring but for me it was always the bare bones found in winter that was most beautiful. How something so seemingly fragile showed such strength and beauty asking nothing in return. Of course reminding me of you. I will love you always mom.

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
