Last April, as the famously beautiful gardens of Florence – amongst them the Boboli Gardens, Iris Garden, Rose Garden and more – came into bloom, a new kid appeared on the block in the form of the temporary Tulip Garden.
Located in the grounds of the Castello dell'Acciaiolo park, the sprawling garden was planted with around 200,000 tulips of 70 different varieties and opened to the public from the beginning of April to the 22nd. Entry cost 3 euro a person and allowed visitors to wander and pick and bring home two tulips, with additional tulips picked counted at the end and charged at a euro a piece and all of the fees going towards the maintenance of the park. Such was the success of last year's edition, that the planting of another garden of tulips of the same scale and kind was announced and begun last Autumn to be opened once more in Spring 2019.

If you have found a luxury villa in Florence and are planning on exploring the city come April, what could be a more enjoyable, relaxing, and seasonally-appropriate way to spend a peaceful morning or leisurely afternoon than by wandering around the beautiful garden, picking a few flowers of your choosing, and giving them to a loved one or yourself? Kids will also enjoy it and those under 6 go free and your furry pals and family members are welcome, provided that all dogs are kept on a leash.
Located in via della Resistenza, close to the Resistenza tram stop, this lush greenery spans nearly three acres and will be dotted with a rainbow of beautiful blooms, open daily to the public from 10am to 7pm as part of the “Wander and Pick” project sponsored by the town of Scandicci. If you are spending time in the birthplace of the Renaissance in Italy come April, it is a must-see!
