Kew Gardens during lockdown
Sep 08, 2020, 07:29 PM
Kew Gardens is the most famous botanical garden in Britain, dating from 1840 and housing "the largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world".
During the Covid-19 lockdown, it was completely closed to visitors, but this recording is from behind those closed doors in April 2020, where you can hear the birds and bees of Kew completely undisturbed and unspoilt by the drone of London's city traffic or planes passing overhead, which are usually audible in the background at all times. Recorded by Alberto Trinco.
