We ask you to cover the travel to Turin on your own, then, the transport to the location (mini-bus) will be arranged. The hour will depend on the latest person arriving to Turin. 

We kindly ask you to be in Turin around 14-15:00. The pick up will be arranged at the time of the latest person arriving to Turin. In case all participant will be in Turin at 13:00, we will organise the pick up at that hour. I kindly ask all however to arrange lunch by themselves for Tuesday.

The nearest airport is Turin (check if you have some flights directly), or Milan (Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, or Milan Bergamo). From there, you can take a bus to arrive to the Central Station of Milan (Milano Centrale), and from there, you can take a train to arrive to Turin (Torino Porta Nuova).  Turin Airport has a shuttle too, arriving to Torino Porta Nuova (The main train station.). The cost of shuttles is about 7 € one way. 

Please, reach out if you need any help in understanding how / purchasing tickets to get to Turin. 

We have a private chef!! Woohoo! exciting :) the owner of the villa has made an exception for us, and we will have a person, cooking for us in his private kitchen. This way, we have saved lots of additional costs for catering!  

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners will be always served in the garden (let's hope for the nice weather)

Menu will be traditional Italian - mostly vegetarian. Lot's of veggies, pasta, fruits, cheese. Please, let me know your diets, as we are building the menu these days. 

If you decide for the last option and you will book hotel by yourself - please, write me first. I have already paid the deposit for the rooms, so we will need to organise with the hotel to return the deposit back to me. 

Rooms are blocked in the hotel of the Agriturismo Margherita Girasoli Golf Club - located about 7 km from the garden. In 1 room, there is actually a space from 2 to 4 people. I can help you book the rooms, so you can save some money by sharing the room. Let me know if you need any help.

Prices for rooms: 

• Suite (a larger room with more space for both) - 138 € a double use / night, 130 € a single use / night
• Standard room (a small room with less space for both) - 108 € double use / night, 100 € a single use / night

There is so much to do during the Meet Up and you can be ready for various activities! The detailed schedule of the program is above, but because the location is simply stunning and large, we will be discovering every angle of the garden! For the workshop, you will need your camera, lenses, tripod if possible, your PC eventually. I will bring the artificial lighting (GODOX that I use), some extra backdrops, tripods, tables... I live about 30 km far from the garden, so I'll bring lots of other things too :)

As we will stay all the time outside, make sure to bring some warm & light clothes. The weather in May can be super nice and hot with sun, so some cap or a hat will be helpful! ... bring some jacket, light sweater, long & short trousers, sun cap, sun cream, etc... 

Please, no shoes with heals, the garden has grass everywhere, so walking in high heals won't be very comfortable for you. Comfy sporty shoes, after all, you will be standing/walking/shooting all day. 

Whether will be quite warm during the day, I expect about 25 degrees, night might be fresh, as most of the garden is covered by trees.
