Frederick Burke had a perennial problem: He was not seeing enough perennials -- and other flowers.

When the biologist and former science teacher would take his dog on walks near his then-home in Washington state, flowers were hard to come by, he said.

"Being my biologist self, I wondered what I could do for this," Burke said.

The thought led him to found Rederick.art in 2023. The business sells seed paper, a biodegradable product filled with seeds and fertilizer to help them grow. Seed paper can be placed in gardens, pots, parks and fields.

Since starting the company, Burke has moved back to his hometown of Linton after living out of state for more than a decade. He plans to expand the business in North Dakota and get more people involved in gardening.

"There's a mental health benefit to gardening; also to see beautiful landscapes and flowers helps every person who walks by or drives by even if it's just for a split second," he said.

While there are other companies that sell seed paper, Burke's product is different because of the craftsmanship involved. The seed papers are created with old newspaper clippings that are 3D printed into unique designs. The seed papers can be painted, too.

Burke calls it "plantable art."

"The seed paper is kind of a cute excuse to go outside or a new way to do it versus the seed packet you get at the store," he said.

Burke primarily sells his products at vendors shows, farmers markets and online. About 1,000 pieces have been sold so far, he said. The work has also been featured in art galleries across North Dakota.

Frederick Burke, founder of Rederick.art, created a 33-inch seed paper model of a record walleye. The plantable art included wetland seeds that improve water quality.

When poet Brendan Stermer went to The Braddock Letterpress Museum with us, he had a little extra time to set some type for a mini-broadside of one of the poems in his POPP Award-winning chapbook, Forgotten Frequencies. We share the sentiment with you today.

Also, our 2026 Poetry of the Plains & Prairies (POPP) Award window for submissions is about to open! You can find the guidelines and particulars here, at our online submissions portal: https://ndsupress.submittable.com/submit
