Volunteer Gardener Goes to Tuscany!
With
Volunteer Gardener’s Troy Marden
October
15-26, 2017
Nashville
Public Television and Volunteer Gardener invite you to join show co-host Troy
Marden on a one-of-a-kind tour of Tuscany, departing the U.S. on October 15 to
arrive in Florence and begin your tour in one of the world’s most beautiful
cities the following day. From Florence’s famous Duomo (cathedral),
Michelangelo’s David, the Medici Tombs, the Ponte Vecchio and more to the grand
finale in Rome where you’ll see the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, Pantheon, Trevi
Fountain and a long list of other surprises, this is a trip you won’t want to
miss.
In between, we’ll explore the hill
towns of Tuscany, where the year’s wine production will be in full swing, olive
harvest will be underway, truffles will be the feature item in nearly every
restaurant and wild boar, only in season in the autumn, will be offered in a
variety of ways. We’ll visit San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa, Cortona, Siena, and
Assisi, to name but a few. Private villas with ancient frescoes, Renaissance
era gardens, and Chianti’s best wineries will all make the itinerary, too! Best
of all, your participation will support Nashville Public Television and help to
ensure that Volunteer Gardener continues inspiring gardeners across the
state of Tennessee and beyond.
Price: $4,195.00 per person,
based on double occupancy. A very
limited number of single rooms will be available at an additional cost of
$595.00 per person.
Included: Hotel, daily breakfast,
additional meals as listed in the final itinerary (usually 5 to 7 additional
