#2 The terrifying Alnwick Poison Gardens

Today I will write about quite strange and terrifying gardens located in Alnwick, in England. They are named Alnwick Poison Gardens and were created by an English duchess. They're also inspired by the legendary botanical gardens in Padua. Have you ever imagine that plants could make you fall fainted or ill? That's the true when you wouldn't obey the rules in those gardens. When you are coming into the main gate there is a marked warning 'These plants can kill'. Despite that caution, some tourists are flouting that rule and they are touching or smelling the plants, but that is forbidden there. The garden is in the grounds surrounding Alnwick Castle. That's arguably northern England’s darkest tourist attraction. Visitors can see there more than 100 different species of intoxicating plants, for example the deadly nighshade and the hemlock (which killed the philosopher Socrates). Some of them have got their own legendry and history and some are permamently kept in cages. The whole garden is secured by a special guard.
