Peggy M has planted a tree in honor of Thomas J. and Ellen Jane Layden

My loving parents, You were my root of life. The beginning of my being, my soul, my life. With this, we both will remain as the proof that love, faith and family will forever exist. Hugs to heaven.

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
