Priya’s Basil Garden - Mumbai
Product: Plantable Seed Pen
Seed: Basil

Impact: 1 pen = Fresh herbs for 6+ months
Rajesh’s Classroom Project - Bangalore

“I’m a 5th-grade teacher, and I ordered seed pencils for my entire class. We made it a science project—students tracked germination, measured growth, and learned about plant biology. The excitement when the first sprouts appeared was priceless! Now our classroom has a mini garden, and students take turns caring for the plants.”
Impact: 30 pencils = 30 young environmental stewards
