Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales is situated on Iron Mountain, one of the highest points in Florida, and is described as a spiritual and energetic sanctuary. While the site is officially a National Historic Landmark, many visitors believe the gardens are an energy vortex. The center of this energetic activity is often identified as the Singing Tower, a 205-foot neo-Gothic and Art Deco structure housing a massive 60-bell carillon. The tower is constructed of pink Etowah marble and grey Creole marble from Georgia, as well as native Florida coquina stone. The music of the bells, echoing across the gardens and the orange groves below, is said to align the personal energy of those who sit in quiet meditation near the Reflection Pool.
The vision for the gardens was established in the 1920s by Edward W. Bok, a Dutch immigrant and editor who wanted to create a place of contemplative beauty and a sanctuary for birds and people alike. He enlisted famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. to transform the arid hilltop into a lush subtropical oasis. This intentional design, which emphasizes winding paths, hidden nooks, and a harmony between stone and water, is often cited as the reason for the profound sense of peace reported by visitors.
This vortex was registered by Connie on 9 November 2018 – Can you give me information on Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida? Located on Iron Mountain in Polk Co., this garden and bell Tower is on the second highest point in the peninsular state. Native American and Paleo tribes worshiped here and many choose to be scattered on the grounds. The feel of this place is peaceful in the early morning and inside the tower on the floor is a beautiful nature and oneness design, not to mention the story of Genesis on the Tower door. I think a ley line to Burmuda runs thru it. Awesome place with incredible history! Any information would be helpful. Thank you

Note: There is currently no scientific method to prove that vortexes exist. Just because a location is on the vortex map, does not prove there is a vortex there. What it means, is that someone suggested the location and provided evidence or a personal account, and/or we found corroborating evidence from other sources. We do this so other visitors to the site can send us their opinion on the validity of the vortex claim, to build a consensus.
