Aztec "floating gardens" called chinampas really didn't float, they were small man made islands. They were commonly used in Ancient Mexico and Central America and specifically in Tenochtitlan
Aztec
The Aztec or Mexica people in central Mexico would qualify as such. They however, had "floating gardens" in artificial islands known as chinampas.
The Aztec warriors forced people to pay tribute, they built floating islands on the water, and they sacrificed people to the Gods. (:
The Aztec used a technique called chinampas, which involved constructing artificial islands in the swampy areas. They built up mounds of mud and decaying vegetation to create fertile plots of land on which they could grow crops. These floating gardens were efficient at farming in swampy conditions and helped the Aztec support their population.
Both Inca terrace farming and Aztec floating gardens are examples of innovative agricultural practices used by ancient civilizations to maximize crop production in challenging environments. The Inca terraces allowed cultivation on steep, mountainous terrain while conserving water and preventing soil erosion. The Aztec floating gardens, or chinampas, were artificial islands on lakes that provided fertile land for growing crops and aquaculture.

They farmed and harvested their own food, and filtered rain water.
