Aztec New Year Celebration

In connection with the Aztec New Year, Danza Chikawa de Conroe and Indigenous Roots will host a celebration including the historical story of the Aztec calendar, dance performances, and a demonstration planting of a Three Sisters Garden, a Native American guild planting technique with squash, because their leaves create a natural mulch to protect the soil from drying out, beans to fix nitrogen in the soil, and corn, which acts as a trellis for the beans.

Participants will receive corn, bean, and squash seeds to take home for a Three Sisters Garden of their own. Families will also be able to do a craft activity together.

The Aztec New Year celebration is included in the cost of general admission ($12/adult, $8/child/student/senior/military). Members can attend at no charge.

Houston Botanic Garden offers free parking for daytime events, which are held rain or shine. If you have specific questions, please email education@hbg.org.​​
