	Description:		Glen Chen sees huge potential in New Zealand for growing ginseng, a root which has been harvested for use in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. He grows wild-simulated ginseng between rows of pine trees around the centre of the North Island. Country Life is there as a small team digs out the delicately shaped root and finds out how Glen came to farm ginseng far from the busy Chinese city where he grew up.
