A visitor describes Mexican floating gardens or chinampas. Reeds and water plants form dense mats strengthened by long poles driven into the lakebed. Layers of turf and soil yield islands two feet above water where corn vegetables and flowers grow. Gardens measure 20 to 200 feet long and 20 to 100 wide depending on vegetation.
