In May, Gov. Tomblin and First Lady Tomblin joined members of the West Virginia University Extension Service, its Master Gardener program and the West Virginia State University Extension Service to plant the final vegetables of the spring season and unveil the Governor’s garden located next to the mansion. The celebration marked the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Smith-Lever Congressional Act, which created Cooperative Extension Service organizations at land-grant institutions across the country.

In this segment, produced by West Virginia Library Television Network, Gov. Tomblin and First Lady Tomblin take visitors through the Governor's Garden and highlight the importance of fresh produce and supporting West Virginia's agriculture industry.
