The Guernsey SWCD is holding its first ever Ginseng Seed
Sale. American Ginseng is a plant native to Guernsey County as well as Appalachian
Ohio. Ginseng is a plant most coveted for its roots that are often credited for
their tonic and medicinal properties. Purposes for growing Ginseng would be to
increase forest diversity and potentially create a cash crop for the future by
selling the roots down the road when they’re legally mature and Ginseng season
is in. The Guernsey SWCD is taking pre-paid orders for stratified Ginseng seed
by the ounce. The seed costs $10 per ounce of stratified seed and there are
approximately 437 seeds in one ounce of seed. All proceeds from the sale go
towards the district’s education events. For more information about planting
and growing Ginseng you can reach us at 740-489-5276, or stop by our office
located at the Guernsey County fairgrounds in Old Washington.
