About 1 Simple Seed

1 Simple Seed began in 2020, inspired by the wildflower fields of Colorado—a quiet idea that had been growing in my heart for a while. After more than 30 years as a nurse, I’ve spent my life caring for people, like many things in life, this little seed of an idea started through connection. For years, I had the privilege of working on and off with a patient who became a dear friend. Over time, our conversations would wander from life to loss, to joy, creativity, and the things we were passionate about. Those talks slowly planted the idea that maybe I could create something meaningful & rooted in kindness—something that could keep growing even after it was given away. That seed of thought became 1 Simple Seed, a line of plantable greeting cards that brings together my love for watercolor painting, the healing power of connection, and a deep respect for the earth. Every card is made with care in small batches, using wildflower seed paper handmade in Nepal. Women who make this paper are working to support their families. The design on each card is my own ORIGINAL watercolor—inspired by the quiet beauty of nature. Every card is hand-scored, cut, and paired with a recycled envelope. We package & ship without plastic, because our commitment to sustainability runs through every part of what we do. When you send a 1 Simple Seed card, you’re sending more than a message. You’re sending care, thoughtfulness, and a little patch of wildflower. Thank you for being part of our journey! Read their story
