Gardener: don't get too close
Lady: puts finger 1 inch away from the deadliest plant
Gardener:=_=
saintsfam k
Ikr😂
To be honest
I was going to post the same comment. He said don't get too close 5 seconds before and she practically touches it lmao.
I WAS FREAKING OUT - it breaks down your cells from the outside in.
Worst way to die.
Trevor knows his shit damn he's like the Wikipedia of poison plants!
CptnJCFG please no one touch his like button
"Don't touch any of these plants"
*TOUCHES NEARLY EVERY DAMN PLANT.*
@Benedict Hampus find it yourself lazy person
I think you wrote that out of order...
@@PokeEnjoyer I mean, you can’t find something that doesn’t exist.
@@palpatine1715 apparently no one can read. He said "nearly touches"
@@PokeEnjoyer mate, he said, and I quote *“TOUCHES NEARLY EVERY DAMN PLANT.”* , _touches nearly_ ≠ nearly touches.
Edit: tryna get the darn bold to work
I’ve been into the garden before. It’s got a pretty sinister vibe to it. The guide who gave us the tour told us a lot of *true* murder stories involving these plants. He told the one about of the “curry killer” aswell. It’s a pretty fascinating place!
I’m really interested in belladonna. All I hear is Bailey Sarian - aqua tofana, aqua tofana, aqua tofana
As Trevor says, Atropa Belladonna is a very common plant. I've always known it as Deadly Nightshade. As he said the berries look juicy & attractive, it also has beautiful purple flowers.
I live in Devon & I've often seen them in cool, damp wooded areas.
Also Hemlock is a lovely large plant similar to Cow Parsley with purple spots on the stem, but it is very dangerous. About 30 years ago I was cutting grass & vegetation beside the road for better visibility on the inside of a bend. I was using a brush cutter with a cord head, when I cut through some Hemlock little pieces were landing on the inside of my forearms as I was wearing a T-shirt. Within a few minutes I had a lot of blisters on my arms that took a long time to heal & left the sites photosensitive so I had to avoid allowing the sun to get to my arms.
When you're antisocial *starts planting all the deadliest plants around the whole house*😂😂
I do lol
That’s a good idea. Just a shit ton of that pass out plant and some poison Ivy 😂
Perfect idea
😁😁😁true
Lmao I ain’t worried bout getting robbed nomo
I love how Trevor is so chill.
Trevor looks like that old quiet geezer from Horror movies who carries dead bodies on his wheelbarrow. haha
Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!
shhh. don't let him hear you. do you not understand he's the gardener of the Poison Garden? he doesn't look like the quiet of geezer at all (He is them)
Leaf him alone
Justin Miller "I'm not dead"
Soo pretty much the nazi scientist in american horror story asylum
"this is one of the most deadliest plants here"
"oH tHiS oNe HeRe "
"Some of these plants can kill you, even if you just get too close"
1:18 her finger is less than 6 inches from a spikey red plant
I laughed so hard at that part... it's as if she completely ignored all warnings
Both of em always bring their hands so close that I question the legitimacy of these 'poisonous' plants.
That's not one that can kill just by touch, so she was perfectly safe.
The mature seeds have to be refined , & it would take A LOT. There isn't enough ricin in one seed coat to matter.
Just realised I had this plant in my courtyard as a child 🤤 (I live in Romania) and surely I touched it. Even though I have never ate it or played 'the cook' with them. It's shocking now for me to think how close I was to dying...🤤😖
What a fantastic garden. Stay away from those deadly plants Maddie!
BBC Earth ricin IS NOT "the most deadly poison know to man". Not by a long shot 😂😂😂
BBC Earth i
BBC Earth I would like to discovered more about those garden's :-)
BBC Earth how do u edit ur video
BBC Earth ?
I have a passion for poisonous plants. I always wanted a garden like this. Toxicology is also my favourite subject in university anyway.
Definitely have to go there.
You find a lot of those plants in gardens anyway.
Angel's trumpets were my grandpas favorite. He always told us to stay away though.
Aconitum napellus grows in my neighbours garden.
Then also the neophyt heracleum mantegazzianum, also phototoxic. it grows near to our river. I used to play there as a child. I was really lucky, since i know of cases, where people got really bad burns.
Unfortunately a lot of people do not know, that there are so many dangerous plants around.
The irony is many can be found openly as ornamental plants. A garden like this would be extremely useful for making herbal medicines... after lots of study of course.
Thank you for these informations. I definitely would not use this knowledge to murder someone i hate
4 months down the line......what is your body count up to?
i think mouse poison would be enough...
Archontasius ahhh it's been 7 months..
8 months lol
😉💀
Poison Ivy would feel right at home here.
the entire hedge of the poison garden was made of poison ivy
I was referring to the DC comics supervillainess.
lol
I didn't see any poison sumac either.
I saw English ivy but not poison ivy.
A guy my dad knows owned property that was over grown with poison oak. (Toxicodendron diversilobum) and had no idea how to get rid of it. It's illegal to burn (the smoke is very bad to breath) and he couldn't really cut it very easily. Then he heard that goats can eat the stuff. He found a guy who rented goats (yes, you actually can rent goats) and double checked that they could eat poison oak (they can) and set the goats on the troublesome weed.
It worked great, but of course the animals got covered in the toxic oil. The wife and kids played with the goats and got covered on poison oak rash.
That's not the worst. A married couple I know went camping. At one point she had to use the bathroom and used some handy leaves to clean herself. They made love in the tent that night and woke up with their loins on fire. The leaves had been poison oak.
He was in bad shape, but she got quite ill. The doctor said it was the worst case he'd ever seen. Imagine poison oak as an STD.
that's just an allergic reaction to the urushiol (same chemical in poison ivy and poison sumac). Not everyone is allergic to it, but many are.
My manly parts are suffering just reading this.
@@Guy.B Imagine how he felt, AND she felt. She had rash inside her body!
@@erictaylor5462 Now that's a big oof
Thats so sad:( di the girl ad man suvive also you said the goat got posion ivy oil thingy and the mother and kids played with the goat!! I FEEL SO BAD
Take your frenemies here and accidentally push them to their demise.
Melchor Bongato *pushes your frenemies “Opps.. sorry, I’m sooooooooo clumsy”
Melchor Bongato lmao that's so evil! I love it
😄
Frenemies? I think if your pushing them, they would be enemies...
Andrea Yanome frenemies because what type of enemies will follow you into a poisonous garden?
I'd love to go there, so cool! It's surprising how many plants left and right, that we plant ourselves or find all over are actually really poisonous. We grow up knowing not to stick random plants in our mouths, but it can still be shocking how good of advice that actually is!
OK, I'm going to buy a Datura plant.
Datura is what some call the only truly hallucinogenic plant, in that while mushrooms can make outlines and shapes "breathe" or pulsate, Datura truly makes people see, hear and experience things that are absolutely not real, and yet they seem perfectly real to the person under it's influence.
She's realy beautiful and her voice also so sweet
Maddie seemed rather relaxed considering she was like just a couple of inches away from permanent injuries.
No one would allow such a hot chick to come to harm.
@@BigJFindAWay ohhhh you keep thinking that...
The video began with, "What could be more delightful than a summer stroll through an English country garden?""
When he watched that my brother said, "A naked roll with a blondish busty hottie.""
@@BigJFindAWay well, I suppose he's not wrong!
Anyone else knew ricin from breaking bad?
As a child I remember a bbc program with Vincent Price on deadly plants. Had completely forgotten about it.
I've seen Datura growing around here too. We have some other dangerous plants in the US and I learned all of them because I used to read my mom's plant field guides when I was a kid.
The datura is found even here in Canada, and has been found to be the cause of death in more than one case. It's not a...recommended high.
Matt Johnston depend upon your knowledge sir.
Here in India we use Datura widely as medicine. Each and every person knows here what to do and what not with it.
As someone who has made tea out of the seeds in those spiky balls of Datura.
I feel lucky to be alive. Dry mouth so bad I couldn't swallow and it hurt so bad. My mouth would bleed it was so dry.
I felt like I went crazy and I was half asleep for like 20 hours.
I was a dumb kid and never doing that again!
alot of POISONOUS PLANTS ARE WEEDS ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
DATURA IS EVERYwhere in the usa, seen people grow it in thier gardens, and as a weed.
Matt Johnston I disagree. I practice traditional witchcraft and we have something called flying ointments, which are used to have our spirits leave our bodies and go into flight. The traditional plants used in these are (to name a few) atropa belladonna, henbane, mandrake, and later when found in the America’s, datura and brugmansia, as well as monkshood, all but datura featured in the video. Various other poisonous and psychoactive (though more often poisonous) plants were used in these ointments. These plants, in the right doses, can cause a very very pleasant high, free of hallucination and delirium and memory loss. Belladonna is my favorite.
Wow! I remember when I was just a small boy I used to play with the "angel's trumpet" with my friends at school and I would actually put them in my mouth and pretend to play the trumpet! Nothing ever happened though!
Did you ever chew on the plant while you did that?
@Duckychan Duckychan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@brandonveltri2825 I don't remember that but I do remember the taste of the flower! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been there 7 years ago and liked Alnwick very much but this garden was my fav.
Btw, this lassie is such a cutie
Definitely enjoyed this garden tour. Is amazing how many properties plants have. There's so much to learn from nature.
Very nice episode! Thank you!
That's why I felt light headed when I went there about 2 months ago
That’s sooo cool!! I’ve got to put that on my list of where I want to go!!! Kind of scary at the same time
Here in Brazil "Ricinus Communis" is known as "Mamona". It grows literally everywhere, specially on the southeast of the country. I utilize its leafs to make a natural pest killer to my garden.
This plant is very well-known in Brazil to be a livestock killer, so many farms take a good amount of time removing this plant from pastures.
Very cool piece. Amazing how something so beautiful could also be so deadly.
To the ordinary people, that part of the garden is called "the poison garden". To a biochemical researcher, that garden holds the future's lifesaving antibiotics, antivirals, cancer eradicators, and artery decloggers...
When I was a little kid my mom pointed at an Angel's Trumpet in one of our neighbor's gardens on my way to school and told me it was poisonous.
Guess who held their breath walking past that thing every single day
they won't kill you but if you eat then you will trip hard
I own an angel trumpet. 🤦♀️
@@autisticghostdog8179 Lies! Datura doesn't make you trip at all
@@bobaseed4423 datura contains atropine and scopolamine
@@autisticghostdog8179 ehhhh i am aware lol check my videos
Wow...amazing... Thanks for sharing. Very informative
What an amazing garden! Thank you. I learned so much about poisonous plants.😊
Recently starting subscribing to Earth Unplugged!, one of the more interesting and out there experiences you've shown so far. One that left me better informed about how to not die via poisonous plant exposure. Not your everyday garden for sure! Stay safe Maddie!
Wait... Ricin communis is called "Hand of Christ"? I hope that there is a badass story behind this...
Also, the poison garden is owned by the Duchess of Northumberland? I wonder how far in the line of succession is she and how quickly will she come closer?
MegaMementoMori looks like a hand and takes to god see is Jesus hehehe
Lol!
I think it’s called the hand of Christ because how God is viewed as a being that can swiftly kill you by his hand....
Yes, the Poison Garden is part of the larger garden at Alnwick Castle, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. The Duchess completely renovated it and it's open to the public. Most people know Alnwick Castle from the Harry Potter movies. It's an amazing place!
I really enjoy this video, real professional.
No dramatic music
Or special effects...
And simple questions.
Wow! Very informative!
I pride myself on knowing my own garden, inside and outside, and at least one of these surprises me. I will stop stroking the leaves...
This must be heaven for the Gotham villain *Poison Ivy*
Extraordinary information. I've seen some of these in other gardens in the US. Thankful you've shown them, so I don't plant them, or go near them. I've dogs too, so especially thankful
Thank you for this...
Remember my dad taking me and my sister here at about the age of 10. As a kid it’s so tempting to touch the plants, thinking it’s all a bit of a show, until he starts telling you stories about children accidentally killing teachers with cyanide. The way the head Gardner talks about the plants really scares it into you how dangerous they actually are. Good job too as there aren’t any other safeguards against it.
3 people fainted in one day
*backs away slowly...leaves*
I love this! I definitely will note these
Loved this video!
When I was a kid, I used to have a medicine that had belladonna in it for pain relief.
I didn't die. I'm still aliv........... UGH!!!
"These plants can kill." Yes, but thankfully they won't "Kale you." Eating kale is a fate worse than death.
I like the taste of kale, but it turns my insides into a chemical weapons factory.
Well, that's not completely untrue, Kale can in the long run give you osteopirosis
You're on every science channel aren't you?
Therion, well I can only surmise that you haven't grown any of the excellent heirloom Kale varieties for yourself. A world of difference from store bought, no bitterness and if sautéed lightly in olive oil with some fresh garlic and a splash of soy sauce it can be heavenly.
Hey, I've seen you on PBS Eons, dude.
Thank you for the video.
As a retired chemist and professor of botany I really enjoyed the video.
In the USA, years ago 80% of our pharmaceuticals were derived from imported plants. I believe that is about 25 % today.
Again thank you.
I like the host. She seems to be friendly and nice. Well done! Subscribed.
4:10 why's he say curry like that 😂😂😂😂😂
That was a lot of fun, made me understand how Agatha Christie stories get written! ; )
I used to live there when I was younger and went to the gardens a lot and was fascinated by the poison garden especially, there was something exciting about being around plants that could potentially kill you....
Thanks for new experience.
that moment you relise you have the deadliest plant growing in your garden.
1:17 in the video as she is pointing at the Red Castor Bean plant you can clearly see the ever popular Opium Poppy flower caps with their serrated crown, well past their prime for Milking though.
BigDogBob yes I noticed them too! damn those beautiful plants have been the gain of my life!!!
I'm ment Bain of my life!!
Yes I noticed the somniferum growing there, they have obviously been planted there because of course they can be lethal, no mention of it because the bbc can't be seen to promote illicit drugs...🧐
Very cool and informative video
Interesting! Trying to look out for my loved ones and this brought some new knowledge. 👍🏻
Poppy plant? I love those. Lol
Great video! I've always wanted to go there. It's a shame you didn't mention their medicinal uses too though. We have TONS of drugs as a direct result of those same plants; saving lives every day.
Scopolamine :)
Atropine, digitalis
Irrelevantly, those swings! 😍
Fantastic! I had no idea that simple every day plants ( or I had thought of as simple) could cause so much havok!
This was a good documentary. Everything was explained quite well and I loved the little stories about the things people have done with the plants.
But there was one little issue. When you put the written description up you didn't leave nearly enough time to read it. I'm a fast reader but I couldn't read more than half before it was removed. Since I really wanted to know what it said I kept having to pause the video and at times rewind it. It would be nice if you just added a couple more seconds of screen time. Something like 3-5 seconds would probably be enough.
Just something to keep in mind for the next video.
Other than that it was really great.
What a good Alnwickdote.
The green variety of Ricinus communis has huge leaves which are quite helpful for holding smaller tools. It is is also helpful to reduce the number of slugs in your garden.
Fascinating....
Half of them I grow in my garden and I never had problems with them. And my husband either! 😉😇
I just leave them alone for the bees.
Aww did you see fat cute harmless bumblebees?? I love bumblebees :D
Don't use their honey, Honey!
@@michaelmullin3585 I think you still can with no problem
Am I the only one who saw 'assinated' on 1:40 ? 🤔
Others pointed it out too.
Trevor just warms my heart
Maddie’s such a gem
Don't like to correct people but at 1:40 assassinated was spelt wrong.
dont be an ass..assin
If that were true you wouldn't.
they taste like burning
Great vid 👌
My personal favorites when I lived in Wisconsin were baneberry (Actaea rubra and A. pachypoda) and death camas (Anticlea/Zigadenus elegans). The latter can be easy to confuse with wild onion when it's not in flower, so if you're out gathering, make sure the plant's leaves *do not* have a crease down the middle ;)
My *least* favorite was wild parsnip, which is phototoxic in the same way as Ruta, and grows more than tall enough to brush against your face if you're not careful where you walk.
Which one can I use to induce chronic diarrhoea in my worst enemies?
RazorX53 prunes lol
soap
RazorX53 buttercups
Make them a nice batch of escolar fish tacos.
1:00 gets told to never touch or get near the plants because they could kill
* next frame *
*sticks hand straight into garden*
Wow, we have quite a few of those plants in my region like the Ricin one, ive seen the large white trumpet looking ones growing in the forest near streams of water too
Fascinating
I half expected them to mention Breaking Bad when they talked about ricin ^__^
Now i know were to invite my ex-friend
ソウルTWICE please don’t
So cool and educational
As a nature lover and a student interested in toxins, this information is really useful for me. THANK YOU “BBC EARTH”. Please do make many such informational videos.
Walter White would love to go there...
The Truth he used ricin in the series. They were going to use it on Gus.
會說中文嗎～？
" . . . everything in this garden could kill me?"
"In one way or another, Yes" except for the cannabis, not sure why that's here, but it is a pretty plant
I would love to work there.. BBC is my favorite for documentaries
Lifelong Middle Florida Native, and I inform as many people as possible, we have Bella Donna, Deadly Night Shade, AND trumpet vine EVERYWHERE AROUND FLORIDA.
Welcome to the commit section, 25% people talking about murder, 25% people talking about prostitutes, 25% people calling the woman in this video hot (creeps), 24% is just the broad category, and one person who needs to be punished(for being to creepy).
SquirrelCake he's a beta
Well she is hot for english standards. Easy when average person there looks like goblin.
😄😄😄
*comment
I'll bet this would be shut down if it were in America. Everyone is so unnecessarily safety-conscious here.
I think it would be shut down, but because of so many incidents of intoxications because of people's arrogance and ignorance. Some people would think "oh it's just a plant, it couldn't possibly harm me", and then proceed to eat/touch/smell it. Or you would have a group of idiot friends daring each other to do those things. In any case it would be a disaster.
They do have it gated off and you can only visit with a special tour. In the US, you would definitely have to sign a waiver, and there would probably be age restrictions. It's not like we don't have plenty of poisonous plants growing here too.
Accept when it comes to guns. And narcotics
Lukas C Yep.
At least we dont ban steak knives
I once worked at hotel just outside Tucson AZ. I learned very quickly how painful plants can be.
Poison Sumac, Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, Giant Hogweed, Holly and Black Nightshade are a few of out interesting ones here in North America.
In fact, Black Nightshade is a close relation of bells peppers, tomatoes and potatoes. All of which actually come from the Americas along with corn, pumpkins and several species of beans.
Tomatoes may be thought of as Mediteranean and Potatoes as Irish, but they came originally from the Americas in returning ships.
Ricin IS NOT the deadliest poison know to man...NOT BY A LONG SHOT!!! 😂😂
george britten maybe as the deadliest poison from a plant known to a man (?
Deadliest plant-based poison, then. Botulin is from a microorgasm.
pompe221 Nope! that's not true. Abrin (a toxic protein, closely related to Ricin) Is 31.4 times more toxic than ricin and that also comes from a plant. 😊
pompe221 so it's not even the most poisonous thing to come from a plant!
Sufiya H. That's pretty cool!
I can't believe they didn't mention the death apple tree.
Joey Wolf Probably because it requires a different climate to grow in.
It's mainly British plants.
I wonder if they grow deadly American plants like oleander.
Joey Wolf Man I wonder if the Manchineel doesn't grow in Britain but rather on Tropical beaches?
Amazing!!
Very interesting and educational
Tom Scott much?
Ha! He doesnt own the garden you know but he did come to mind as well. 😂😂
woollen hat Well, of course he doesn't own it but when I saw it, I thought of his video on it😂😂

Great video! I have an amusing story: While attending a continuing education seminar for funeral service professionals, our county coroner was a guest speaker. He spoke about service-related topics, and joked (something like), "If you ever want to get away with murder, place 2 or 3 castor beans in someone's food. Ricin poisoning is not included in the county's standard toxicology screening. The cause of death will be listed as respiratory failure or heart attack." YIKES!
