Texcotzingo (alternatively, Tetzcotzingo) is claimed to be one of the first extant botanical gardens in the Americas, along with Moctezuma's gardens in Huastepec. The gardens and archaeological site are located roughly 20 miles northeast of central Mexico City, Mexico.
Texcotzingo is adjacent to the Aztec capital city of Texcoco and acted as the summer imperial gardens, resplendent in all the royal trappings of the time, including imperial and courtly residences and fantastic waterworks. Tetzcotzingo, however, should also be seen as a hedonist/sacred space, agricultural space, political statement or emblem, performance space, and earthworks.[1]
