Xochimilco
... means 'garden of flowers' in the Náhuatl language of the Aztecs. The Aztecs constructed chinampas the following way: First poles were driven into the lakebed, then branches and vines were woven between the poles. Finally the woven enclosure was filled with earth and willow trees and crops were planted to anchor the soil. |
