Duchess's poison dell will lure visitors Provided that a duchess can see eye-to-eye with the Home Office on growing cannabis, strychnine and cocaine, Britain is about to get the most venomous and hallucinogenic garden it has ever seen. via neil gaiman's journal

Oh, this is great! I write a gardening column called "Bloom and Gloom" for a gothic magazine, and I'm certainly going to make mention of this. Thanks for the link!

growing Mandrake, neat-o. Them cages will have to be sturdy to keep little alchemists and hobby-witches out as well as the potheads I'm sure.

gardening can be art. it certainly is creative and generative. Sometimes art is about the dark side of life. This is awesome.

I'll bet it's beautiful, though, and not at all gloomy. some of the most deadly plants are also quite striking.
