Can you hear the bells ringing?  Looking up at the 205 foot neo-Gothic and art deco Singing Tower carillon 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. Concerts from the 60 bell carillon at 1 and 3 p.m. fill the Gardens daily.


A beautiful spot perfect for a day of outdoor fun. A family friendly attraction with landscaped gardens, children's activities and three geocache locations.


Voted Florida's Best Garden!


PINEWOOD ESTATE


 


Nestled in the heart of seven and one-half lush acres at Bok Tower Gardens is an enchanting 20-room Mediterranean-style mansion called Pinewood Estate, a National Historic Landmark. Originally named “El Retiro,” meaning retreat in Spanish, the estate was built in the early 1930s for Charles Austin Buck, a Bethlehem Steel vice president. Having made a fortune in steel, Buck wanted to build a winter estate where he could be surrounded by his nine children and 18 grandchildren during the holidays.


 


In an effort led by Nellie Lee Holt Bok, daughter-in-law of Gardens’ founder Edward W. Bok, Pinewood Estate was acquired in 1970 and “El Retiro” was renamed “Pinewood Estate.” Famed restoration landscape architect, Rudy Favretti, was engaged along with a corps of volunteers to restore the manor to its original glory so it could be enjoyed by visitors.
