    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
