1071 - The green treasure of the monks (sustainable grass paper advent calendar)

"The Green Treasure of the Monks" is an adventurous treasure hunt for the 24 plants of a hortulus garden in the form of an Advent calendar - loosely based on the "Liber de cultura hortorum" from the 9th century. Illustrator Natalia Grebenjuk used the ruins of the Altzella Monastery Park near Nossen/Saxony as the calendar motif. We would like to thank the team at Altzella Monastery Park for their support in the development of the Advent calendar, especially in the naming of the calendar - if you would like to know more about the Hortulus garden in Altzella and the life of the monks in the times of the Cistercian monastery, you can deepen your knowledge on one of the themed guided tours on site.
Read me! with botanical illustrations behind the little doors, with a story of the same name by Isabella Benz, which can be accessed online chapter by chapter.
Sustainability and regional production are important to us. This calendar was created in collaboration with the Arnold printing company: completely environmentally friendly on sustainable substrates with certified organic printing inks, free of mineral oil and heavy metals, with process-free printing plates that do not require any chemicals in the development process, alcohol-free, with Premium PSO certificate and produced exclusively with green electricity - climate-neutral and vegan. Due to the special production method and materials, it has a slightly different colour scheme to our conventional Advent calendars. Due to the structure of the grass paper, each calendar is slightly unique (the illustration only serves to simulate the mood of the motif).
