Is it any surprise that the resiliency of Pueblo Culture is alive and well?
In this video Interview at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, Resilience Garden in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we learn about the thousand-year-old farming methods still in use today at many of the Pueblos.
You'll learn:
- Different irrigation techniques
- Crops cultivated and harvested in the wild
- What happened to Pueblo agriculture after contact with Europeans.
- How you can implement these techniques to create your own resilient garden.
Thank you to the Indian Pueblo Culture Center for sharing their knowledge.

I live in New Mexico and have never heard about the waffle garden…I’m going to try it this year. Thank you! 😊
Mesa verde actually had huge gardens on top of the mesas... They took note of the natural depressions that gathered soil. They exploited that concept and like the gardens in chaco canyon they set up dams to control flows. They also planted their seeds in the flood basins according to the growth rate of that particular crop. The crops that took the longest were in the deepest end of the reservoir/gardens.
Interesting!
yeh but it still not enough because the population were getting too huge, other than that the Navajo and Apache started to come from the North and started raiding their crops and pueblos so that is why some move to the south like the Zuni and Hopi.
When I lived in California during our 7 year drought I did sunken gardening with clay walls too. Didn’t know it was a thing, just trying to keep plants watered. Cool to see how others do it.
Sunken gardens are great for retaining water. These waffle gardens are a great way to garden in arid climates! Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you so much for this video. I am honored to receive this information
I like this I have been building a wall around each individual and plant that seems to be showing signs of stress in the heat this is such a better idea because it dips down, so glad i seen this!
A seed bank is something that we should all be using to ensure that when climate changes, we can still grow food. This video is very helpful as irrigation of crops is not practical in a lot of areas. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Greetings from Taos. Thank you for this fascinating piece!
Absolutely wonderful. I'm from Washington state with Taidnapam/Cowlitz heritage. I recently moved to TX, now granted central TX is very different but I am just thrilled at how much I've learned about local and southwest tribes and in particular their agricultural practices. I come from a long line of indigenous master gardeners back home, and I just love the additions to my own heritage garden, and using many of these methods with our traditional crops from a completely different climate has been amazing! and Anthony, I don't know if you have had problems or not but we half of our agriculture is aquatic, it's wetland mostly everywhere the water barely goes anywhere. There's plenty too if you know where to look!
Informative and good wisdom on growing in accordance with your local climate.
Amaranth is a good one needs no care here in Africa. My question, why build a wall when you can plant a plant in a half filled deeper hole? You can get the roots closer to the deeper moisture and the hole wall serve the same purpose as a built up wall. I'm going to experiment with that one this year planting corn. I wonder how deep you will need to dig to find the moisture floor after having had 2 weeks without rain. Studying your local wilderness might be a good idea, if you have some available. Over here the weather patterns creates a wilderness where plants and trees like growing up against split boulders or rocky outcrops. Overturning a boulder after a long dry spell will usually yield critters underneath but also reveal some moisture.
In my case, digging holes and half filling them back up with good soil just led to out of control weeds. In my garden, if my garden beds dont have a physical wall around them the weeds just grow right into the good soil and choke out the vegetables. With the raised walls, I have to be seriously slacking for the weeds to grow up and drop seeds over those walls. Also, flowing ground water after a rain can carry (unwanted) seeds with it and right into the holes that have been dug to grow in. That method works very good in parts of Africa because there are vast areas of barren soil, but in non desert areas, you'd harvest nothing but grass. Like I said, this is the case for my garden (cen. TX) and not everywhere, but I figure it applies to more than just me.
P.s. I watched quite a few shows on the rock lines, the holes filled with compost, and the semi circles all used to capture, slow, and retain water that theyre doing there... Very creative ideas that should be applied to the desert regions everywhere. I especially like the idea of planting trees in them to help regreen the deserts and provide habitat for wildlife.
George Abraham, the waffle garden is a Zuni design. I believe Hopi do plant corn in deeper holes so the corn is watered, and catches runoff from rain. Different methods for different cultures. They all work better than our irrigated (water wasting) methods.
The Arabs in the edge of the desert in Saudi Arabia,Yemen, Bahrain, UAE and Oman did the same thing in the old times, they build mud or earth wall around the crops and put palm tree in the middle as shades...so the Technic is kinda universal in many Arid country around the world. Only different is that the Arabs waffle garden are usually a lot bigger, i mean the waffle shape are bigger because they also plant wheat in the waffle. You can still see a lot of them in Oman today.
If you grow in a hole, then the plants root system is constricted, and the plant will be smaller.
The Zuni system allows mulch to keep the roots moist.
Agree with the guy about weeds, too.
I grow mostly Jalapeno.
The small and mighty delicious pepper.
The Jalapa people know their peppers 100%.
Calabacitas !
The waffle system allows mulch to keep the root system moist and functioning.
My father in law plants too shallow and his plants are stunted and unproductive with exposed, dry roots.
Mulch is super important.
This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for the talk and great ideas.
dude, this is so cool
Thanks so much for sharing. Loved your presentation.
This is such great information! Thank you so much for sharing! :)
Thank you !

Amazing how thousands of years of knowledge and hardly anyone outside the Pueblo cares to learn, you’d think the ‘superior races’ would have known how to manage the land they took, but power don’t equal intelligence loool. Aside from that, good video and I hope to learn more about ways to garden which take advantage of the natural cycles. Here in the west coast we get water only during the winter and spring months which limits non irrigated food crops to European and Mediterranean foods and so not a whole lot of the things we like except maybe herbs like garlic and cilantro. but I don’t like to flood the plants completely for the reasons you mentioned. Maybe a slightly raised section walled off within a lowered seasonal pond would do the trick, always hoped I could do an Aztec water garden in the wetlands out here. Many blessings

Yeah, well the same can be said about a lot of the natives having all this knowledge for self-sufficiency & they've decided to piss away their lives on drugs, alcohol & gambling - just like the "superior races".
Thank goodness there are still many out there who haven't given into this hopelessness & found joy & responsibilities in gardening/farming.
There are lots of great native tricks to add to the repertoire, but a lot of this desert gardening knowledge comes from Mediterranean & Middle Eastern groups as well.
(I also LOVE Geoff Lawton's project in Jordan on regreening the desert which can be found on youtube.)
This is very true. I only just learned about the 3 sisters recently. Paul Gautchi (back to Eden Gardening) had to learn it from scratch and he discovered potatos thrived underneath his apple trees. But first he had to step back and observed things happening in nature that Europen farmers ignored. His farmer neighbors think he's a kook. I am very grateful for informational videos like this one by the Pueblos
@@puckf17 I like Paul he's a master grower he looks at god as the first farmer and grows how he has. Created all this
can goats and chickens benefit from Buffalo Gourds???
Swales!
👏 👏 👏
I wish you would show instead of talking
