These Plants Can Kill

A combination of dark, ivy-covered tunnels and flame-shaped beds creates an educational garden full of interest and intrigue, where the most dangerous plants are kept within giant cages.

Delve into the history of poison as our Guides remind you of some of the world’s most high profile poison cases.
