Inca Garden
The Inca Garden refers to the agricultural practices and terraced farming techniques used by the Inca Empire in the Andean region of South America. These gardens were designed to maximize arable land in mountainous areas, utilizing terraces to create flat surfaces for planting. The Incas cultivated a variety of crops, including potatoes, maize, and quinoa, which were essential for their diet and economy.
In addition to their practical uses, Inca gardens often held cultural significance. They were integrated into religious practices and rituals, with certain plants considered sacred. The gardens showcased the Incas' advanced understanding of agriculture and their ability to adapt to diverse environments.
