2015 Summer Agriculture institute
for educators
The 2015 Summer Ag Institute was
held June 23 & 24 in Morgantown.
On day one, teachers visited Mt.
Zion Nursery in Fairmont; toured
Lambert’s Winery in Weston and went
to Jackson’s Mill in Lewis County.
They came away with information
on tree growing; producing wine;
blacksmithing; WVU Extension’s
History Hitting the Road program and
more. Teachers also experienced
WVFB’s Mobile Ag Education
Lab, just as have thousands of
schoolchildren across the state,
conducting an experiment and
learning about all the products that
come from agriculture.
During the second day, attendees
learned about bee pollination; tactile
learning; mapmaking; container
gardening; roots, stems and leaves
as food and Project Learning Tree.
