Mission San Luis Gardens

The Apalachee people and Spanish friars relied on locally grown and wild medicinal plants for everyday health care. The Apalachee had long gathered and cultivated native plants near their villages to treat illness and injury. The friars depended on these local resources rather than distant supplies, sharing and adapting indigenous plant knowledge.
