Ice lolly plants - too cool for kids?

Sometimes it's the simplest inventions that are the best and Alex Worswick, a Devon University student, has come up with the novel idea of inserting seeds into lolly pop sticks so instead of throwing them away at the end of the treat, kids can plant the stick and be rewarded with plants and herbs.

The idea will be shown at the New Designers Business Design Cente in London next month along side other products made from sustainable and recycled materials.
