When I was about 12 years old I was playing in the creek and I rubbed up against some of that hogweed. It gave me disgusting blisters all over my face, the doctor called it impetigo. It lasted like 3 weeks and I had to go to school like that, what looked like herpes blisters all over my face and mouth. I was in the 7th grade then. It was awful
He and his wife retired and do this now for a living. They were from Nottingham if ny memory serves. We went through here 3 years ago and he explained the plants really well.
We had gympie gympie, Dendrocnide moroides, in our collection for a little bit. It’s a venomous plant and became too much of a risk so it had to go. Mostly kept by a few private collectors in the U.S.
i ripped up some plants around my home id never seen before. used gloves washed my hands after. but out of curisoty of this plant appearing all the sudden i used chat gpt to id the plant
turns out its a type of common weed that if touched and ripped and the milky secretion it produces gets on your hands than you get tht in your eye you go blind. didnt even know fucking wild
I visited here last year! It’s in Alnwick in the UK and was a really fun day out. The Poison Garden is just a small portion of the much larger garden area, which was beautiful and very well maintained.
It’s a cute gimmick for a garden, but honestly most plants are poisonous. It’s how they have evolved to stay alive. The stuff we eat is the exception, not the rule.
I don’t fuck with Giant Hogweed. That shit scares me. The poisonous plants that you have to ingest are cool af but ones that mess you up just by touching? NOPE
I always found it funny that they have a cannabis plant there and that’s the only one behind any sort of cage. All those poisonous plants out in the open and weed is the one that has to be locked away. The common sense side of me says it’s because people would try to steal it but still kinda funny nonetheless.
I live in the high desert of California, Mojave desert, and we have what’s called sacred datura or jimsonweed that grows wild pretty much everywhere. It’s really pretty to look at but it can kill you if you eat it and if you touch it it will irritate the hell out of your skin.
This is at Alnwick Castle in North East England. It’s really cool as they take you through the garden and really put on a show explaining what the plants will do and even which killers have used them throughout history. Quite a lot of surprising plants in there as well that you wouldn’t realise were dangerous. Well worth a visit.
Hogweed is evil. It grows wild around here, and he isn’t joking when he says it can make you blister for years. The “sap” will make your skin hyper-photo-sensitive, to the point that minutes of sun exposure can result in blistering sunburns.
I went to Alnwick a few years ago but the poison garden was one thing I missed out on, so this video was lovely to see. Fantastic place and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Was lucky enough to see a WW2 exhibit.

A wise man once said, “Delectable tea or deadly poison?”
Somebody check on this guys wife

the fact that someone looked at deadly plants and said “yeah let’s make a whole garden out of that” is insane and kinda brilliant.

It’s all natural ingredients.

I remember the Tom Scott vid on this pretty fun place it seems, while everything in there is poisonous, not everything is lethal

Reminds me of “Rappaccini’s Daughter”, a story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, of a beautiful young woman brought up in a poisonous garden.
I like the way he pushes up on his tippy toes when he says “And this will kill you” like he’s an excited lil child showing off his house of horrors.

This garden sounds like a stupid idea but is actually isn’t

I’ve been here, was amazed at the amount of regular house plants and commonly found wild plants in the UK are here
Well Laurel, here’s another fine death you’ve got us into
Summarise= Believe it or not, death.
He says we all know what cyanide does to you, and obviously he meant death, but what does it actually do?
