The Poison Garden

[Hennessy]

The Alnwick Garden plays host to the small but deadly Poison Garden—filled exclusively with around 100 toxic, intoxicating, and narcotic plants. The boundaries of the Poison Garden are kept behind black iron gates, only open on guided tours.

Visitors are strictly prohibited from smelling, touching, or tasting any plants, although some people still occasionally faint from inhaling toxic fumes while walking in the garden.

The Abimination should take a walk and do cute poses smelling the flowers or biting the stems in classic style.

I remember hearing about this years back. It's so cool and I'd definitely love to visit it sometime! Now if only they let you take souvenirs

Imagine SS-members gathering in the garden for a summer ball.... that would be some party

I found instructions on making your own. Perhaps I should take up gardening. =]
