Poison Garden Alnwick in England is beautiful and is home to various species of poisonous plants. The idea behind this garden is: why to celebrate only the powers of medicinal plants, when at the same time people can be reminded of the danger of them? Every plant in this botanical garden is poisonous or has drugs. Some are so poisonous that it is sufficient only touch to kill you. The garden was opened in 1995, and it can be found poisonous plants such as belladonna, tansy and opium, not to mention the popular psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana. Today the poison garden is open to visitors and most deadly plants are in separate cages.
