Zuni gardens

Zuni gardens are traditional agricultural spaces cultivated by the Zuni people, located in the southwestern United States. These gardens typically combine irrigated fields, orchards, and native plants, using advanced water management techniques suited to the arid environment. They emphasize sustainable practices and cultural traditions, often incorporating native crops like corn, beans, squash, and herbs. Zuni gardens serve not only as food sources but also as symbols of cultural identity and environmental adaptation, reflecting a harmonious relationship between the people, their land, and water resources.
