I checked an item off my Indy bucket list today and took a walk through the gardens at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I will definitely have to check back in the Spring and Summer to get the full experience, but there was still plenty to see on this overcast autumn day.
I wish I had brought my Canon T5i with me, but I did the best I could with my iPhone. It doesn't quite capture the coolness of some of these plants and colors I saw. I was also pumped to see that there were planet labels - such a nice courtesy! This garden walk rivals any local arboretum, it's a true gem.
