Talquetzal Poaceae Source: Field identification with Sindy Hernández and informants Home gardens Apart from the above outlined cropping and gathering practices, home gardens (*awiink re li rochoch) are a crucial element in the indigenous subsistence farming system. Traditionally, this type of land use on small plots has been linked with other forms of land use throughout Guatemala and Mesoamerica. Most often, home gardens are integrated agroforestry systems that include trees and numerous annual and perennial crops. Generally a mixture of useful species and minor crops, they provide families with access to nutritious fruits and vegetables, herbs, spices, flowers, medicinal plants, firewood, poultry feed and other tree crops. When they are not investing their time and effort in intercropping activities, farmers engage in attending their gardens during the period when the crops on their milpa are maturing. In the lowland communities, we observed that the spatial structure of the gardens and the plant composition can vary significantly. Although they commonly are located in the courtyards of the homesteads, the gardens are not restricted to the residential zone and are occasionally found in walking distance of the farmstead. The maintenance of this system demands constant attention. Usually but not exclusively, women are dedicated to gardening, while some work is frequently realised by men, such as the elaboration of seedbeds. 167
