The etymology comes from the Latin word Hortellus meaning small garden, Les Hortillonnages is a great example of how agrarian hands shaped a wilderness into one of the most beautiful garden in Amiens. The garden is well over 2000 years old but today only about 300 hectares of the original 10,000 is left and the rest destroyed due to erosion. There are water paths that take you through the garden. The soil being composed of silt and limestone is very fertile and permeable.

The water comes from the river Somme and its tributary Avre. The gardens are home to a variety of vegetable yielding plants and crops and along with it, it is also the second most visited destination in Amiens after the Cathedral. With about 100,000 visitors every year the site serves economically both tourism wise and production wise.
