Thinking about gardens . . .

Today I am thinking about the gardens of Florence.  The Boboli Garden is the most famous, but newly renovated and now opened in the same Oltarno neighborhood is the Giardino Bardini.  It's been closed for decades, so seeing it, especially in the spring, will be a rare treat!  I've pulled out my old book, "The Garden Lover's Guide to Italy," by Penelope Hobhouse, for some info on the other gardens in the area.  I remembering how beautiful the wisteria is in April.
