Olive Barn is selling this cool plantable calendar for 2009. The calendar is roughly 5 inches by 5 inches in size and is made from recycled bond paper, cotton remnants and a renewable leaf fibre called abaca. Once you've reached a new month, all you do is sow the paper in the soil, and flowers will sprout from it!
The paper is embedded with a number of wild flower seeds including Bird's Eye, Clarkia, Coreopsis, Poppy, Catchfly and Snap Dragon. The seeds are mixed in the paper, meaning that you'll get an array of flowers growing within a few weeks. The calendar is neatly packaged within a reusable tin and is designed for sitting on your desk at home or at work.
If you get into 2009 and want to send someone a similar gift, the calendar will already be out of date. As an alternative, you can also get greetings cards impregnated with herb seeds and wild flower seeds. The cards make perfect birthday or anniversary cards, adding an element of uniqueness to an ordinary card!
