Africa’s Pioneer of Seeds and Seedlings as Souvenirs

Oluwatomi Olatoye: Africa’s Pioneer of Seeds and Seedlings as Souvenirs

Oluwatomi Olatoye is the first African to introduce the unique and impactful idea of giving seeds and seedlings as souvenirs at parties and events. These are thoughtfully selected, beautifully packaged, and distributed to guests at weddings, birthdays, funerals, corporate events, and community programs.

Why Seeds and Seedlings as Souvenirs?

🌱 Promotes food security – Encourages guests to grow their own food, herbs, or flowers.

🌿 Eco-friendly alternative – Unlike plastic souvenirs, plants reduce waste and support the environment.

🌸 A gift that keeps growing – A lasting reminder of the event that can thrive for months or even years.

🪴 Encourages home gardening – Inspires people to start or expand their gardens.

🌍 Supports sustainability – Aligns with global climate action and green living movements.

❤️ Culturally meaningful – In African tradition, planting something symbolizes growth, blessings, and legacy.


This green innovation by Oluwatomi is not just a trend—it’s a movement inspiring thousands to reconnect with nature, one event at a time.
