Alnwick Castle's Poison Garden

I think the name says it all, am I right? (Yes I am) This garden is placed in the country nearly every American yearns to visit, England.  The garden is in Alnwick Castle, the most iconic castle in Great Britain! While the castle and it's infamous Poison Garden are closed for the winter and are scheduled to reopen late March 2014 I wouldn't be planning any family trips there for the spring. At that time the poisonous plants would be in full bloom and you and your family would be at the mercy of plants who carry poisons such as Strychnine, Hemlock (this is what killed Socrates) and even Castor Oil. Considering a drop of Castor Oil could kill an adult this "get away" is only for the braves our there who have hundreds of antidotes at the 'drop' of a hat.
