Beyond Our Borders
Garden borders define
and contain the
landscape. This year
we have sought to go
beyond our borders by
incorporating native
Florida ecosystem
plantings and agriculture
into new garden areas
to give a better sense of
place and connectedness
to our region. We are
also planning educational
programs that that will
go beyond our borders to
connect with new audiences both here and
throughout the State.
Design
Most notably was the work we began
in early 2013 with landscape architect
Thomas Woltz and his team at Nelson
Byrd Woltz to design the garden projects in
Phase I of our award-winning Master Plan.
In 2013, this plan received the highest
award from the Florida chapter of the
American Society of Landscape Architects
(ASLA)–the Frederic B. Stresau Award.
This year-and-a-half design process has
pushed the boundaries of our garden both
figuratively and literally with plans for
a Children’s Garden, Kitchen Garden,
Pollinator Garden and Florida Wild
Garden, as well as a new circulation path
that will provide better access for all.
Education
We also began to put a finer point on our
new educational partnership with the
University of Florida Institute for Food
& Agricultural Science
Extension Service.
Dr. Cynthia Klemmer
was hired as our new
Director of Education
in September and has
been working to create a
program called Gardens
for Life.
This educational outreach
program will bring edible
gardening to schools and
communities in a multicounty region. Florida
Extension Service staff will have office
space at the Gardens to provide technical,
administrative and logistical support to
schools and communities. We will also be
offering more educational opportunities on
site to our members and visitors.
The Carillon
Geert D’hollander, our
fourth Carillonneur
to serve in 84 years,
completed his first season
with us in 2012-2013.
He is truly a musician
who recognizes no
borders when it comes
to carillon music.
From his innovative
arrangements and new
carillon compositions
to instructing students,
Geert is bringing a new
level of excellence to the carillon program.
This summer, he traveled extensively to
perform and conduct master workshops in
the U.S. and Europe.

The Gardens &
Conservation
“Beyond our borders” was definitely
the mantra for our horticulture and
conservation staff this year.
New plantings expanded our palette
of native and blooming plants. A path
on the Tower Lawn was reopened after
many decades to give visitors a closer
view of the brass door. Our behind-thescenes projects included expanding the
nursery to begin growing hard-to-find
varieties of plants for the future garden
expansion. We experimented with bio-char
and vermiculture to improve the soil in
planting beds around the Visitor Center,
and published three research articles in
peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Our dedicated conservation team
expanded their reach this year with rare
plant introductions at four different
sites around the State,
inluding the first
population introduction
of a critically-endangered
plant onto private lands.
The type of research
our team is conducting
on the microhabitats of
rare plants has seldom
been done so as to
push the boundaries of
understanding of what
these plants need to
survive.
Spring 2013 saw the opening of our new
1.5-mile Preserve Trail and picnic shelter
along the entrance road, and an outdoor
classroom was built next to the Lake Wales
1
High School on the Bok Tower Gardens
Preserve. Interpretive signs and wildflower
plantings attracted many visitors to this
trail to explore beyond the borders of the
historic core garden.
Visitation for 20122013 remained strong
at 149,226, and
memberships reached
4,407 households.
Retail Services &
Marketing
Attendance for our
events, programs, and
Pinewood Estate tours
exceeded all expectations
this year. Visitation to
Pinewood Estate doubled
in 2012-2013, and
education programs more than doubled
in participation to 3,802 students. The
Boktoberfest Plant Sale reached a record
high of 7,934 attendees, and our wedding
rental revenue exceeded $70,000. We also
saw many more tour groups this year –
attendance rose from 5,574 to
6,225 people.
Our Blue Palmetto Café and Tower &
Garden Gift Shop set a new revenue record
again this year by grossing $1.14 million.
We released the Rizzoli Press publication
Bok Tower Gardens: America’s Taj Mahal
in time for Edward Bok’s 150th birthday.
I was honored to co-author this book
with architect and artist Kenneth Treister,
featuring photographs by Dan Forer.
The marketing department continued to
innovate and extend to the furthest reaches
of cyberspace. Among this year’s highlights
was the unveiling of a new website with
fresh, “responsive design” technology,
which automatically adjusts the layout
to the mobile phone or device it is being
viewed on. We increased our investments
in social media marketing
and secured grants from
Visit Central Florida to
promote and advertise
several of our major
events.
People,
Events &
Programs
Our passionate corps of
375 volunteers donated 48,034 hours
of work in all areas of our operations. We could not accomplish all that we do
without this incredible volunteer staff. Our Board of Directors have stepped up
the to the leadership role in our design
planning and fund raising efforts, which is
making our future garden expansion
a reality.

the status quo and
pushing the boundaries
of conventional thought.
As we enter our 85th
year as a public garden,
the board, staff and I are
honored to be stewards
and visionaries of Edward
Bok’s legacy. We invite
you, our supporters and
friends, to join us in
continuing to push beyond the borders of
the Gardens.
Concert Under the Stars found its
audience this year by pushing the musical
genre boundaries to feature an eclectic mix
of “jazz grass” and
Americana music.
Philanthropy
Our vision for the
Gardens to stay relevant
and sustainable can’t be
achieved without reaching
beyond our borders to
inspire philanthropy.
Staff traveled from Miami
to Maine to cultivate
support for the future
and to cultivate support for our $12
million Preserve the Legacy, Steward the
Future campaign. We have made many
new friends and revived many former
friendships in our travels, which bodes well
for our future.

The Board of Directors, together with
staff, deepened our relationships with
our Friends locally and throughout the
State as we began to grow “beyond
our borders” in our philanthropy. We
celebrated many new gifts this year for
our education and cultural programs,
as well as for our Preserve the Legacy,
Steward the Future campaign. Our
media, program and community
partners and volunteers all
continue to grow in number.
Whether the gifts are of time
or treasure, it is truly a fruitful
time for giving to the Gardens,
and we have you to thank.
