Chinampas is a special word sort of for "floating gardens." The chinampas were created because of space. The Aztecs didn't have enough room for farmland, so they created the" floating gardens" in a river near the market. Everyday they would pull the rope to pull it in and pick the grown crops. After picking them they would put more seeds in and put it back out to float. They never had to water the chinampas because lived on the water.
