Strikingly beautiful and eye-catching, the cards are the core of this venture. Strawberry Botanica chose to launch it's exciting and colourful range of greetings cards and Christmas cards at the Spirit of Christmas Show, Olympia, and the Country Living Show at the Business Design Centre, Islington in December 2005.

All card designs are adaptations or details from original watercolour paintings by botanical artist, illustrator and teacher, Helen Allen.

Designs continue from front to back and the inside is left blank for personal greetings.

The Helleborus niger card was produced for Christmas 2004 and joined by Viscum album (mistletoe) and Ilex aquifolia (common holly) for Christmas 2005. All three cards will be available for Christmas 2006 with one new original festive design. The Cottage Garden range consists of six new designs.
