In-Depth Review
Wild Botanics, Wild Responsibility
House of Hackney's 2025 Wild Botanica Planner is more than a calendar—it's a statement. Each page bursts with hand-painted botanical illustrations inspired by the brand's signature British-meets-Dutch aesthetic. But what truly sets this calendar apart is its supply chain: printed in a small, family-run facility in the Netherlands that pays all workers a certified living wage and operates on 100% renewable energy.
The calendar uses 100% post-consumer waste FSC-certified paper, and the binding is synthetic—completely vegan, with no animal-derived glues or leather tabs. The ink is vegetable-based, and the packaging is a simple compostable sleeve (no plastic shrink wrap). House of Hackney offsets the remaining carbon footprint through the Climate Neutral program.
Designed for the College Student
We know college budgets are tight, so this calendar offers real utility: a large grid for tracking assignments, exams, and extracurriculars, plus a month-at-a-glance layout that fits dorm-room walls. The paper is thick enough to stand up to sticky notes and washi tape, yet light enough to post with eco-friendly tape.
⭐ Editors’ Pick: Named one of the best sustainable calendars for teens by Good Housekeeping (Jan 2025) and featured in multiple Wirecutter roundups for eco-conscious planners.
