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.

Each landscape artist designed their garden based on inspiration drawn from one of their favourite books. 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.
