One of the most influential communication tools dates back 450 years. Kids learn to write with it and adults still use it to take notes, doodle and draw – the pencil.
With US offices in Atlanta, SproutWorld created the world’s only plantable pencil, replacing the eraser with a seed capsule and giving the pencil a second life. Once it’s too short to use, the pencil can be planted and flowers, herbs, vegetables and even trees will grow.
Made 100% from sustainably harvested wood, graphite and clay, SproutWorld pencils come with 11 different seeds, including basil, cherry tomato, spruce tree or sunflower.
