Finding Harmony at Bok Tower Gardens

Yvette Young found a softer rhythm — just her guitar, the moment, and a little Florida magic.

Bok Tower Gardens is the kind of place that whispers instead of shouts, and Yvette heard every note. She took a rare journey inside the Singing Tower, where the carillon lives, and even got to play within the tower. Surrounded by blooming gardens and birdsong, it was a harmony of nature, history, and art that felt made for her.
