The Aztecs didn’t have much farming space; they were pushed around to different places until they found a home on an island in Lake Texcoco. With no garden space and a new home the Aztecs didn’t know what to do, until they thought of chinampas. Chinampas were also referred as floating gardens, they were gardens built on the water. Many people may ask how you grow grass on water. Well the grass wasn’t on water, they were built of pieces of logs that were laid down at the bottom of the water then mud was placed in to help the logs stay in place. There the Aztecs were able to grow many foods like their main food maize, beans, squash, and many more vegetables. The Aztecs though also had experimental gardens and personal gardens so they could grow food for themselves at their own house. The reason the chinampas were so important was because the Aztecs couldn’t have garden space and couldn’t work with the land. The chinampas helped by giving the Aztecs the food which gave them the energy to live out their daily lives. This helped the men work in the fields and be more efficient, women make food out of their crops like tortillas and fight wars to give them more land. If it wasn’t for chinampas then the Aztecs probably wouldn’t have had their great civilization. (Source 1)
