  • image description Annual Report 2011 To paraphrase from Lewis Carroll’s The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland: If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there. Together with our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and community leaders, we spent much of the past year defining where we want to go, then defining how we should get there.

    The Bok Tower Gardens Master Plan, a vision for the next 25 years, charts our course by preparing for a long but exciting journey ahead.

    Thank you for contributing to Bok Tower Gardens’ success.
