Florence Garden Walk

Two of Florence’s city parks are close to our neighborhood, one of which our apartment backs right up to.  The following pictures were taken the day we hiked through the Bardini and Boboli Gardens:

Piti Palazzo (palace) in the background.

The Boboli Gardens is over 100 acres in size and has many 

beautiful walks, lanes, and sections to see.  The Cedar Walk 

stretches down to one of the southern exits.

How many big heads do you see in this picture? :-) You will
find all manner of art as you walk through the gardens.

Where the city of Florence ends, the olive trees begin.

whose surrounding land has been put to good use producing 

one of Italy’s most important orchard crops.
