The Ethnobotanic Gardens and Woodland Medicine Trail on the grounds of the University of Georgia's Mountain Research & Education Center, showcase plants harvested and often cultivated by early inhabitants of the region. The Native Americans and early settlers used these plants for a variety of medicines, food and crafts. Although many of these plants are considered weeds, they are valuable to wildlife and pollinators and have an important place in the ecosystem. In addition, visitors can see how native plants can be used attractively in their own landscape. The Georgia Mountain Research & Education Center has served the agricultural needs of the mountain region since 1928, and that history is preserved in the historic Cannery Interpretive Center.
