The poison garden in the UK

in travel •  7 years ago 

The first fortified herb garden in the UK was made up of patterns of medicinal gardens and poisons established in Italy around 1500 AD. The Alnwick Poison Garden is a garden where experts work specifically to plant toxic and deadly plants.

The garden has various types of plants, and it also has the right to grow and plant specific herbs to obtain cannabis and cocaine for special uses.

There is a garden in the city of Allenwick, which, unlike ordinary gardens, is full of deadly and dangerous plants. Some of these plants are so dangerous that breeding needs to be licensed. On the black gate of the garden is written in capital letters: "These plants can kill."

About 100 different plants grow in the Allenvik poisonous garden. Only touching some of these plants can kill humans. Away around some plants to prevent curious children from killing deadly plants.

The Allenvik Poisonous Garden is part of a series of gardens that are located next to the Allenvik castle. Alnwick Castle has been around for centuries and is now home to Duke North Amberland and its family. Although the gardens were built in 2005, the rest of the gardens date back many years ago. The first garden was built in 1750 by the first Duke of North Amberland. During World War II, due to food shortages, the British government ruined Alnwick's gardens and sowed food instead.

History
The first garden was laid down in 1750 by the 1st Duke of Northumberland, who employed Capability Brown, the celebrated Northumberland gardener, to landscape the parkland adjoining Alnwick Museum.

The 3rd Duke was a plant collector, and led a century of development at Alnwick - he brought seeds from over the world, and pineapples were raised in hothouses. In the middle of the 19th century, the 4th Duke created an Italianate garden featuring a large conservatory, and at the end of the century, the gardens were at their grandest, with yew topiary, avenues of limes and acres of flowers.

During the Second World War’s "Dig for Victory" campaign, the garden was turned over and provided food, and soon afterwards the austerity of the 20th century saw the garden fall into disrepair. It was closed as a working garden in 1950.
