Debbie Smith has planted a tree in honor of My Mom

My mother loved trees and flowers, spending much of her free time keeping her world colorful. She is alive in my heart and her roots extend throughout her family. I plant flowers at her grave, but am not allowed to plant a tree. This is my gift to the world in her name.

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!
