Les Fleurs du Mal

I'm not much of a gardener, but I'd like to visit the new Poison Garden that's about to open in Britain. The "venomous and hallucinogenic" patch will feature such dangerous plants as henbane, mandrake, hemlock, deadly nightshade, cocaine, strychnine, etc. "Harking back to medieval times, but with a toxic arsenal that a witch or apothecary could only dream of, the project includes shrubs and creepers so potentially nasty that the designers have suggested growing some of them in cages." Kewl.
