I've read that one can use the Firenze Card for admittance to both Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens but can I also use if for admission to Brandini Gardens?
For Pitti Palace (and its museums) and Boboli Gardens - is it one admittance price for both on one ticket or are the admissions for each separate?
Thank you!
I'll take a stab at this since no one else has...

I'm assuming you mean the Bardini Garden, yes?
Yes, you may use the Firenze Card for the Palazzo Pitti complex and Boboli Gardens. This includes:
Palatine Gallery and Royal Apartments (in the palace)
Modern Art Galley (in the palace)
Costume Gallery (in the palace)
Treasury of the Grand Dukes/Argenti (in the palace)
Boboli Gardens
Porcelain Museum (in the gardens)
These are listed as attractions 14-19 on the Firenze Card museum list:

The link provided on the Firenze Card website for the Boboli website (http://www.uffizi.it) brings up this:
http://www.uffizi.it/index.php?en/238/il-giardino-di-boboli
Text on that page states, "The ticket also includes access to the Porcelain Museum and the Bardini Garden."
Given that, the answer would be yes, if using the Firenze Card, you may also access the Bardini if using it for the Boboli.
For Pitti Palace (and its museums) and Boboli Gardens - is it one
admittance price for both on one ticket or are the admissions for each
separate?
If you were to purchase tickets instead of using the card, the separate galleries/gardens are grouped as 2 attractions, and you may enter each of the two groups only once on their separate tickets:
Group #1: Palatine/apartments, Argenti, Modern and Costume galleries (all inside the palace)
Group #2: Boboli Gardens (+ Bardini), Porcelain Gallery
That said, I would assume the same is true if using the pass. We didn't use the Firenze Pass when we visited nor did we purchase tickets in advance (official ticketing: http://www.b-ticket.com/b-ticket/uffizi/default.aspx) but bought them at the entrance to the palace. At that time, we were able to buy a comprehensive ticket which covered both groups but I don't know if that's still true.
So, does this answer your question?
