Memorial plaque. "This sanctuary of approximately fifty acres with its planting of native vegetation of Florida was the conception of Edward William Bok. It was designed and executed during 1924-1928 by Frederick Law Olmsted. Its purpose is to provide a retreat of repose and natural beauty for the human--a refuge for the bird--and a place for the student of southern plant and bird life."
