Greetings Cards

Cards with Stories to Tell

Stunning horticultural photography and more! Find out why Roman soldiers carried daffodil bulbs into battle or about secret messages conveyed by the Victorian language of flowers. Be inspired by the poetry of Keats and Shakespeare, or delve into the origins of folklore characters such as the Green Man or Jack Frost. These are more than just greetings cards; they each have a fascinating story to tell.

Timeless Treasures

Dreamlike photography combined with a thought-provoking quotation, or excerpt of poetry, chosen especially by the author of the Heart of a Garden. A collection of images to reconnect us with the timeless beauty to be found at the heart of our gardens. Reproducing qualities of lomography on modern digital pictures has an unusual effect – they become captured moments in time, reminiscent perhaps of childhood adventures, the sense of discovery as we walk through the gate and enter the secret world of nature’s garden.

Barnaby’s Bugs

A range inspired by the enthusiasm of talented young photographer, Barney Wilczak, who just loves his bugs! Each card has a checklist on the reverse all about the bug featured. This is an incredibly rewarding world to investigate, where fact is usually weirder than fiction. For instance did you know: Insects, with over a million species that we know of, make up more than half of all living organisms (a woodlouse, however, is not an insect but a crustacean – like a crab); The Puss Moth caterpillar can fire formic acid from its head, and some male spiders will try to attract a mate by plucking their webs like a guitar!

Nearer to Nature

A truly eye-catching wildlife collection led by award-winning natural-history photographer Colin Varndell, capturing the moments that bring us nearer to the animals that share our world. But its not just about great photography, these cards also have compelling info on the reverse about the critters pictured. Find out why the robin is associated with Christmas, or about the origins of the Easter Bunny legend, why we often assume the fox kills for pleasure and delve into Norse mythology which tells us that the red squirrel is a mischievous spreader of gossip. A blend of fact and folklore which seeks to examine our relationship with the animal world – bringing us nearer to nature!

Designed by Nature

Natural art is there to be discovered, and while nature provides us with bountiful raw materials, there is always an immense feeling of personal satisfaction to be found in its recognition. With this range of cards we are celebrating a resource that cannot be traded, is owned by everyone, yet no one, in a world where we often over-value much that has no real worth.
