Some things they do not throw away after use, they plant themselves! In fact, it is possible to create objects of various kinds that have as their characteristic the seeds incorporated within them and the biodegradability of the materials with which they were made.
This is how flowers can be born from some commonly used objects. These are truly original gift ideas that can help those who have never planted a seed or grown a seedling to find a new contact with nature.
Among objects that are planted we find pencils, greeting cards, invitations, postcards and even children's books designed specifically to give birth to new trees by planting their cover.
Let's go to the discovery of the objects that can be planted after use.
