Floating Gardens - Worldbuilding with Aztecs

Cities and villages obviously need food to survive, so like the rest of us you’ve probably found yourself drawing the same rows of fields all around your fantasy map for your city or village. But what if you want to create something a little more interesting and make your worldbuilding stand out? It turns out with a little digging, you can find some fascinating and effective methods for farming in unlikely places throughout history. The floating gardens of the Aztecs or “chinampas” are a perfect example.
