The World of Ginseng
Wednesday, 15 July, 2026

Hosts Jason Bonham and Dylan Wrubel welcome horticulture staff members Sachaly Rosario Rivera and Emma McGee to discuss ginseng, including its “all-healing” origins, slow life cycle, pollinators, cultivation methods, medicinal uses, high prices, and poaching that drives strict harvest regulations. They share folklore, history of U.S. export to China, and conservation resources like United Plant Savers. The group also debates most frustrating plants to work with, plus updates on conservatory bed renovations.
