    A very interesting piece about a garden, dedicated only to poisonous plants - A section of botany that we otherwise find ignored everywhere else...

    I for one found it really fascinating, which is why I'm sharing it with everyone over here.

    I've actually been to Alnwick Gardens. The poison garden was in its infancy then with only a few dozen plants. I would love to go back there to see how it has improved. I think it's a great idea to have somewhere like this as it shows people which plants to avoid and how to deal with them.
