Memorial Plaque


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."
