Bok Garden Sanctuary

Historic Bok Sanctuary, located in Lake Wales, FL., offers visitors Florida's most abundant opportunities for aesthetic, cultural and personal enrichment. The lush landscapes of the Olmsted gardens, the majesty and musicof the carillon tower and the splendor of Pinewood Estate create an experience that inspires all who visit.

We recently took a trip here. It was beautiful despite the humidity. (smile)
The meandering garden is one of the greatest achievements of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.
Looking up at the 205-foot Gothic and art deco Carillon Tower is an experience like no other. Designed by famed architect Milton B. Medary and ornately crafted by noted stone sculptor Lee Lawrie, the Tower houses one of the world’s finest carillons. Recitals from the 60-bell carillon fill the Sanctuary daily.
Please enjoy my pictures............and take a trip there if you can....its really a beautiful & peaceful place!












We hung out with this swan for a little bit….he decided to get friendly with Ma Ma P’s ankle.
