When Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. was designing the Gardens in 1923, he put a lot of thought into the location of the Tower so it would have the right visual effect. He wrote to Edward Bok, “So large a tower must appear to be firmly planted on its earthen base; the shape of the ground for some distance about it must be such to suggest that it could not reasonably have been placed otherwise; it must not look as though it could just as well be slid into some other nearby position.” | Bok Tower Garden

Bok Tower is chalked with historical significance and charm. The geographical landscape is utterly magnificent! The “El Retiro” mansion captured a unique holiday essence! Fortunate enough to see the seasonal vibrancy of Christmas. The bell tower played magical holiday tunes. Be sure to bring quarters to feed the fish. The Coi fish sadly were on winter break. The museum and unique artwork make this a truly historical landmark. #boktower #botanicalgarden #hiking #nature #thingstodoincentralflorida
