Kew Gardens gets the Google treatment!
 

For those of you not aware, Kew Gardens is now ion the Google Street View facility. It apparently took two days on a hi-tech tricycle to capture it.

So if you can't visit in person you can still get a chance to visit through the ether!

Just enter Kew Gardens (UK) in the search map and zoom in. (If anyone can do a more direct link that would be cool, but I'm not sure it's possible)
Google Maps

Enjoy!

Amazing! I still want to go there in person though ;)

i couldnt see it! what exactly did you put in the search?

Bob, put the search in the search bar at the top and you will get a map. Then find above the zoom slider an little picture of a man. Drag that onto the map (in the big green bit which is Kew near where the pointer lands on the map). It will then show a ground level view and you can click on the images to move arround gardens.

Cool, you can even go inside the conservatories... now if only I could remember which one has the orchids :coverlaugh:

Glad folks are enjoying :biggrin: I'm just wishing I could get more time to have a good and proper peruse.

Hopefully New York Botanical Gardens will be added at some point. :crossfing
I know there's also the google art project which basically does the same thing for famous museums and galleries, so some day who knows!? Perhaps a lot more Gardens and Places of interest will be added. Which would be nice :)

:lol: I think I need to put some time aside! If I had it I could spend hours just looking.
