Busy as a Bee Hedgehog Greetings Card

This card measures 150mm x 150mm.

An award-winning British brand celebrated for its beautifully illustrated greeting cards, stationery, and giftware. Founded in 2012 by artist Hannah Dale, Wrendale Designs brings the charm of British wildlife to life through distinctive watercolor artwork, inspired by the countryside and nature.

With a background in Zoology from Cambridge University and a passion for creativity, Hannah combined her love for animals and art, first painting hares before expanding her collection to include a variety of British wildlife, birds, and countryside creatures. Her first set of nature-inspired greetings cards, printed on premium textured board, was an instant success in local gift shops—and Wrendale Designs has since grown into a globally recognized brand.

Each product is designed with exceptional attention to detail, often featuring hand-painted illustrations and eco-friendly materials, making them the perfect choice for wildlife lovers, birdwatchers, and nature enthusiasts. With a focus on sustainability, Wrendale Designs ensures that their cards and giftware are produced responsibly, aligning with our mission at Wildlife & Welfare to support ethical and nature-friendly products.

No pointless plastic: They have removed any unnecessary plastic packaging to reduce their impact on the environment. Currently, 97% of their range is packaged completely plastic free.

Eco-friendly product ranges: They are constantly looking for ways to introduce reusable options into their product ranges, such as our water bottles and foldable shopping bags.

Sustainably resourced materials: They use uncoated paper from responsibly managed forests for all their greeting cards and stationery. All their paper-based products and packaging are recyclable, and they are sourcing more recycled materials

Locally sourced products: They try and source their products locally where possible to reduce their carbon footprint - they are proud to say that 88% of their total product offering is made in the UK.

Rewilding: Hannah and Jack, with the help of the Wrendale team, planted 50 acres of native mixed woodland in 2021 on their farm as part of a re-wilding project.

After years of hard work and ongoing commitment to ensuring that their business positively impacts their customers, their community, and the planet, they are delighted to announce that Wrendale is now a certified B Corporation!
