Joshua Tree Cards

Joshua Tree is a 0.8-million-acre U.S. national park in California, established in 1994. It is known for surreal desert landscape where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet, studded with twisted Joshua trees and jumbled boulder formations. TerraGreetings is actively designing printable greeting cards inspired by Joshua Tree — printable at home or sendable as a digital share link.

Joshua Tree is the desert at its most photogenic — twisted Joshua trees, jumbled boulder piles, and a sky that goes pink-to-purple at sunset like clockwork. Cards from this collection fit the slightly-offbeat moments: a birthday for the friend who keeps moving to the desert, an engagement card for a couple who got engaged at Keys View, a congratulations that doesn't take itself too seriously.

These cards exist because the west region of the U.S. — and Joshua Tree specifically — gets short-changed by mass-market card aisles. The collection works the park's actual visual signature: Skull Rock, Keys View, Arch Rock, sandy tans, warm ochres, and the spring and fall and winter seasons most visitors come for. Where wildlife appears, expect Desert Tortoise, Coyote, Roadrunner.
