Collapse ▲If you own mature forestland (or a nice wooded backyard) with good soil and drainage, ginseng may be a viable way to diversify your property and produce income from your underutilized woods. Ginseng is a native medicinal plant that has been wild-harvested here in the mountains of the High Country for centuries. While it can be a tricky plant to grow successfully, the market for ginseng has averaged over $750 per dried pound over the last few years. Ginseng takes between 7-10 years to reach a size favored by the Asian markets to which it is exported. 
In September, N.C. Cooperative Extension of Watauga County will be hosting two workshops on how to grow wild-simulated ginseng.
Workshop Dates:
September 19, 2019 @ 4–6 p.m. – 20 participants max
September 26, 2019 @ 4–6 p.m. – 20 participants max

- Site preparation
