Alice Kim, who recently graduated from Kingston University, designed the PVC maternity vest with a compartment on the front to carry seedlings and young plants.

Kim hopes the project will remind people of the care and attention that plants require to grow. "Plants share very similar birth and growth process to humans," she said, "but we do not appreciate much of what they give us."

After the seedling has grown into a small plant the owner can use Kim's Plant Stroller to take it for a walk.

Kim exhibited the project at London's graduate showcase New Designers 2013 last week.
