Our final day of Promotional Queen/Ambassador Training began with a presentation from Dr. Gilbert Miller, where we learned about the behind-the-scenes production, science, and research involved in watermelon production. We also had the opportunity to participate in a Q&A and hear a grower’s perspective from Mr. Lee Wroten of Global Produce. Thank you both for sharing your valuable insight and experience with us!
After a great morning of learning, we headed to Epcot to explore and go on Disney’s Behind the Seeds Tour. During the tour, we walked through the greenhouses, learned about Disney’s aquaponics system, and even spotted where Disney grows watermelon!
A huge thank you to the National Watermelon Promotion Board for sponsoring me this weekend, hosting such an incredible training, and treating us to an amazing day at Disney. None of this would have been possible without your support.
A special thank you as well to Ashlyn Wiggins for designing our shirts! 🍉✨
