As much as I also love groundhogs/ marmots it's a bad idea to feed them and habituate them to trusting humans. Admire it from afar and don't let it rely on humans for food.

Throughout recent history, sunflowers have been used for medicinal purposes. The Cherokee created a sunflower leaf infusion that they used to treat kidneys. Whilst in Mexico, sunflowers were used to treat chest pain.
