Where every seed holds a promise of growth and connection

Each seed represents a promise of growth and connection, symbolizing sustainability and unity through plantable paper creations.

Our story

Paper is vital for daily life, but most are discarded after a single use. In Canada, paper and paper products comprise over 1/3 of total waste, and only 25% of waste paper is recycled.

At Promise of Seeds, we are committed to reducing paper waste and working towards a more sustainable future. This non-profit project focuses on giving new life to paper by turning waste into eco-friendly creations. We collect discarded paper, recycle it, and handcraft it into plantable paper, some embedded with wildflower and vegetable seeds. The seeds are non-GMO and sourced from local communities.

Our products use 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, and eco-friendly materials. Every paper we make symbolizes our respect for nature and commitment to protecting our planet.

Promoting sustainability and environmental care by reducing waste and encouraging community participation in protecting the natural environment.

Our mission

We aim to protect our community’s natural environment by promoting sustainable practices, reducing waste, and encouraging everyone to participate in environmental care.

Hello, my name is Mavis, and I’m a high school student with a deep passion for creating art.

I’m responsible for graphic design, drawing inspiration from nature, everyday life, and the stories of those around me. Each item we design aims to foster a deeper connection between people and nature while encouraging meaningful connections among individuals.

I aim to use my art to impact people and beautify the world.

Hello, I’m Bella. Vancouver has always been a place where I’ve found a passion for nature. The harmony of the environment fills me with gratitude, strengthening my commitment to environmental stewardship.

In my position, I build and maintain media platforms, creating partnerships with schools and communities. I also develop fundraising plans to support our initiative.

I believe preserving our local vegetation is crucial for short- and long-term ecosystem health. I aspire to connect with others in creating a relationship with our natural world.
