About the event
We're taking a virtual journey into the infamous Poison Garden located inside the very unique and contemporary Alnwick Garden in Northumberland, England. The Alnwick Garden was created by the Duchess of Northumberland in 2001 and while there are many fascinating sections, the Poison Garden just might be the most unique. It contains about 100 different varieties of "toxic, intoxicating, and narcotic" plants. No one who visits the garden is allowed to smell, taste, or touch any of the plants (though some people have fainted!). The Poison Garden is protected by large black iron gates, and the only access is on a guided tour. Through our Zoom program, we're being allowed exclusive access behind the gates. One of the official gardeners will provide a tour and give us an inside look into this dangerous garden.
