American Ginseng is a small, native plant growing in the deep woods of the Catskills. Many don’t realize that ginseng had a special role in American history. Join Anna Plattner of American Ginseng Pharm to learn all about the history of this unique plant, from its home in our forests to the early trade of the 18th century and, ultimately, to its cultivation today.
