There’s something magical about the borough of Xochimilco, one of 16 within Mexico City. Its name can be translated as “breeding ground of flowers” and the blossoms and produce that are grown here on artificial islands called “chinampas” are recognized worldwide. Yet since the earthquake, business has slowed for various reasons, and some towns in the borough – especially San Gregorio – were severely impacted.
