Aside from this, there are many who’ll tell you that there isn’t much else to do in the city and have suggested that this is the why it’s known as "Nap" town. This moniker actually came about as a means to describe the city’s unique style of early jazz and has most recently been used in reference to the areas hip hop sound. Playing off of the original "Nap" town nickname, Indianapolis has also been referred to as the "City of Siesta’s". Contrary to these reports, there is much to see and do in Indianapolis. You just have to look in the right places.

There were gardens based on The Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter, Under the Tuscan Sun, and The Chronicles of Narnia to name just a few. Some of the designers consult with Indianapolis florists and local Indianapolis flower designers to ensure their gardens have the most appeal.

Science, or para-science, tells us that geraniums bloom better if they are spoken to.
But a kind word every now and then is really quite enough.
Too much attention, like too much feeding, and weeding and hoeing,
inhibits and embarrasses them.
- Victoria Glendinning
The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love,
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture.
- Thomas Jefferson
The garden should be adorned with roses and lilies, the turnsole, violets, and mandrake.
There you should have parsley, cost, fennel, southern-wood, coriander, sage, savory, hyssop, mint, rue, dittany, smallage, pellitory, lettuces, garden-cress, and peonies.
There should also be beds planted with onions, leeks, garlic, pumpkins and shallots.
The cucumber growing in its lap, the drowsy poppy, the daffodil and brank-ursine ennoble a garden.
Nor are there wanting, if occasion further thee, pottage-herbs, beets, herb-mercury, orache, sorrel and mallows, anise, mustard, white pepper and wormwood do good service to the gardener.
- Alexander of Neckham
