All Plants Are Edible. Some Only Once.

I love plants.

Apparently, some of them don't love us back.

There are actual poison gardens filled with plants that can make you sick, hallucinate, stop breathing, or just straight-up kill you.

Naturally, humans put them all together and made a tourist attraction.

Because of course we did.

The famous Poison Garden at Alnwick Garden in England keeps around 100 toxic, intoxicating and narcotic plants behind black iron gates. Visitors are told not to touch them.

Which immediately makes everyone want to touch them.

Human nature. Very advanced species.

Some of these plants are ridiculously beautiful too.

Belladonna. Hemlock. Foxglove. Monkshood.

Pretty flowers. Terrible personalities.

And honestly, I love that.

We have this weird habit of assuming beautiful = harmless.

Nature never agreed to that shit.

Sometimes the prettiest thing in the garden is exactly the thing you should leave the hell alone.

Which is basically how All Plants Are Edible. Some Only Once happened.

It's botanical art for people who like flowers but don't necessarily need their flowers to be inspirational.

No Live Laugh Love.

No watercolor quote about blooming where you're planted.

Just a slightly questionable botanical life lesson:

Technically, you can try anything once.

Whether there should be a second time is a completely different f***ing question.

Welcome to the garden.

Please don't lick anything.

And if this particular questionable little life lesson belongs on something you own, you can find the All Plants Are Edible. Some Only Once. design on Redbubble
