your gift #1

Access to a culinary library with seasonal recipe e-books.

gift #2

For centuries, Venice was the greenest city in Europe, and gardens of all kinds still cover almost half of its surface. And for centuries, Venetians have developed the art of enlarging these tiny green patterns you can make out on your map, by creating sprawling terracescapes stretching across gardens, leading up the rooftops of one-story homes, and then up again to the second and third floors via wrought staircases.

your welcome gift

In addition to an online garden atlas of our city, you’ll receive Floral Venice, a free garden guide with a one-day-program of exploring and enjoying Venetian gardens.
