About Us
Gone Too Seed launched it's range at Progressive Live an international greetings cards exhibition in London 2010.
The aim was to produce something innovative and fun that can be enjoyed by all generations.
Knowing the time, thought and costs involved in choosing a suitable gift and greetings card, I came up with the concept of a gift in a card. A combination of both at a highly competitive price.
I designed a range of contemporary cards with the illustration reflecting each individual seed type.
Joanna-Malec- Bouali, a friend, who is a talented illustrator transformed the designs with her artistic flair and use of bold primary colours.
The pleasure of the card is the planting of the seeds and the following gift of the grown product in full bloom.
I hope you enjoy our unique gift in a card and thank you for visiting Gone To Seed website.
With best wishes from Gaynor Hyatt Artistic Designer.
