February 17th, 2007 – Bok Tower Sanctuary!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Feb.19, 2007, under Florida History!, Florida Outdoors!, What\'s New?
We were on a day long trek during this Saturday through Polk County researching Sandra’s current book she’s working on about Florida’s botanical wonders. Our first stop was Bok Tower Sanctuary. I’ll let you learn more about this National Historic site for your self by visiting here.
The park has changed a bit since I was last there a few years ago. The hurricanes did some tree trimming throughout the park. If you didn’t have that ability to compare, you would have no idea that hurricanes pummeled the area.
Many people know of Bok Towerand it’s being on the highest point withing the Florida peninsula and that there is an abundant array of flowering plants to walk amongst. What many do not know is that the park also maintain’s natural Florida areas. We took a walk on a natural trail. Two of the drawings are from that hike.
The other drawing is of a decorative fence door along the pond that makes it way to surround the tower.
