Timeless Tanglewood was created for the late Fred Levin, a celebrated Pensacola attorney whose landmark work against the tobacco industry helped reshape public health in America and beyond.

Fred commissioned James with a beautifully simple directive: create the most beautiful garden he could imagine.

The result is a deeply personal estate composed of five distinct gardens, each with its own character and purpose. An organic vegetable garden celebrates cultivation and seasonality. Amphitrite’s Water Garden introduces movement and reflection, while Daphne’s Garden offers another intimate experience within the landscape. A family garden, nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees, creates a place for gathering and connection. The Marilyn Levin Camellia Preservation Garden honors Fred’s beloved wife through the timeless beauty of camellias.

Together, these gardens form a living legacy, created with beauty, memory, family, and a profound sense of place at its heart.
