Patricia C. Rowell–Johnson has planted a tree in honor of The Love of My Life– Dragon

To the man I love. I did not meet you under a tree nor marry you near one. But our love has grown tall and strong, shading us from many troubles, and because the roots of our love delve deep into our souls we are weathering one of the most difficult storms in life: life threatening illness. But just like a tree our hope stretches towards the unending sky that others might be uplifted and sheltered by our example. <3

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
