While we were in Florida visiting family, we got the chance to visit Bok Tower. The most prominent feature is the bell tower that holds the carillon, though this was added later to the landscaped grounds that are full of lawns shaded with live oaks, paths lined with azaleas and other flowering shrubs and palm trees, and many other (mostly native) plants. It is a beautiful place, and visiting it provided a serene interlude to all of the chaos of traveling during the holiday season. It also has what may be the only scenic overlook in Florida (photo from Wikipedia). William De Turk, the carillonneur, gave a concert of Christmas songs, ending with Auld Lang Syne (as it was New Year's Eve).
