VIRTUAL ESCAPE

Google Arts & Culture has launched a new online resource, Gardens United, which offers the chance to explore 50 gardens across the UK from anywhere in the world. From Tresco in the Isles of Scilly to Balmoral in the Scottish Highlands, Gardens United draws on a huge archive of videos, images and Google Street View tours of gardens including The Alnwick Garden (left), and offers online talks on topics ranging from wellbeing to urban gardening. artsandculture.google.com/project/uk-gardens
