The seedling program with the involvement of the smallest gardeners has been successfully completed

Two thousand kindergarteners got acquainted this year with the education of the landscape variety tomatoes thanks to the Ecological Agricultural Research Institute (ÖMKi), the Ovikert program and the Responsible Gastronomic Seedling Program. After a few months of care, the children were able to taste the flavor of four types of tomatoes. These children will certainly not think that vegetables grow in the store and that tomatoes ripen at home even in winter. The researchers hope the program has brought the need for healthy, domestic organic vegetables and, last but not least, landscape varieties closer to children – and through them adults.
