The Chinampa Zone of Xochimilco

This field in the northeastern part of Xochimilco’s chinampería shows clearly that even chinampas that are quite far from town, and which have become overgrown, can be brought back into production fairly quickly when needed. Many fields like this one have been allowed to grow grass, and some are used for grazing cattle. Overgrown chinampas may not be permanently abandoned after all.
