The Open Day – Tomato Tasting 2025 at VRDS Buzau was a true festival of flavour and of the joy of being together! Tomato varieties with real personality, wonderful people and a festive atmosphere!
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who was there with us – without you, not even the tomatoes would have had the same charm!
Our gratitude and thanks go to the representatives of the “Gheorghe Ionescu-Sisesti” Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, to Prefect Liliana Sbîrnea, to Deputy Prefect Dobre Vasile, to Cosmin Florea, director of the Buzau Agricultural Directorate, to our colleagues from ICDLF Vidra, VRDS Bacău, SCDA Tulcea, SCDA Brăila, the Potato Institute in Brașov, the County School Inspectorate, USAMV Bucharest and the “Dunărea de jos” University of Galați – for their support, their presence and their encouragement.
Thank you #FotoMagica for giving us moments to treasure, full of smiles and… photogenic tomatoes!
Thank you to our volunteers, who stood beside us and kept everything running like clockwork – without you the day would not have been nearly as lovely!
Thank you to the plant lovers who honoured us with their presence – your energy gives us the courage to carry on!
Our gratitude also goes to the Seminte Cu Suflet community, which reminds us that a love of seeds is really a love of life!
#FlorideZai made the space beautiful with real elegance, and the decorations were superb – thank you from the heart!
And the music? Perfect for a tasting to remember! Thank you Florin Vlagea for the speakers and… thanks to ourselves for the top-class playlist. If you fancy tasting tomatoes to a beat, hit play here: https://youtu.be/y66HbH3zKro?si=qbIK3G4IwxfOUIz3
