Free Tour of Kew Gardens, England

If you can't get away this fall, take a virtual weekend getaway to The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, England, courtesy of Armchair Travel Co Ltd. This a fun, well thought out site that offers panoramic views of all the major Kew Garden exhibits, like the Bamboo Garden, the Princess of Wales Conservatory and the Temperate House. Spend some time clicking the various icons and you'll be treated to narrated slide shows of the history and highlights of the exhibits. There are also downloadable MS Word files and photos for use by schools and organizations. Nothing tops an actual visit to Kew Gardens, but if you'd like to take a quick break from working in your garden and stroll through a world class public garden without leaving the chair at your desk, I recommend this site.
