Writers and poets dream that words could blossom from their pencils like gardens in springtime.  Now they can literally bloom with “Sprout,” the pencil from Democratech that you can plant. By scrapping the eraser and replacing it with a water-activated seed capsule, the end of a pencil marks the beginning of a vegetable, flower, or herb garden. Designed around a classic Ticonderoga cedar body, the Sprout is a fun way to reconnect with nature and a great green reward for finishing a stack of homework.
