Today, we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on our Pam! 🌷

She plays a HUGE role in the upkeep and beautification of our buildings' grounds.
Pam has spent many hours pulling w**ds, planning, prepping, and planting to increase the beauty of the landscape, plants, and flowers you see as you pass through our little piece of Peoria.
From trimming evergreens and pruning rose bushes to pulling and killing w**ds, to amending the soil so plants have the nutrition they need to grow and bloom, Pam does it all!
But it’s not just her hard work outside that stands out. Pam is also a quality human and a great friend to us all. 💕
She takes great joy not just in sharing her love for plants, flowers, and gardening, but also in taking care of Olive, her dog, baking sweet treats for her family, and trying to live in a way that shares some of her true joy into the lives of those around her every single day (something she is very successful at).
Pam, Carter Paper is incredibly thankful for your dedication and the beauty you bring to our environment every day. Keep beeing 🐝amazing! 🌼✨

Happy National Gardening Week!

Get outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, even if your thumb is not green, you still may get at least a plant or two to grow.

With all of the ugliness in the world and on social media, a hobby that gets you outside and yields yummy food, or beautiful plants and flowers is a win-win!

And if you need bio-degradable w**d barrier, we have corrugated cardboard sheets and kraft paper rolls that will do the trick!
