The Poison Garden at Alnwick Castle

Yes, talking about a unique and poisonous garden in the UK. Did you all hear our episodes on poisons from 2022? Here's a link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/10340583That link does double duty. Yes, it's about poisons, but it is also one of the other times Sensei Lydia joined in the conversation! Enjoy.We also mention the Yew tree. Both Sensei Jackie and I think it came up in one of our Archery episodes. (We did 3). Here they are. Let us know if we're right and the Yew bark is used in the making of certain bows.https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/6125029And these two are specific to Kyundo:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/6327931and:https://www.buzzsprout.com/477379/episodes/6422461This episode is also special because I reached out to a friend and fellow black belt, Sensei Haya, and she wrote us a poem to end the show. I love it so much, I'm copying it here: Pick Your PoisonThe sign says, No touching, smelling, or tasting. It’s human nature to pick one. Touch: you’ll get a nasty rash. Didn’t you learn from when you used Ivy leaves for toilet paper while camping? Smell: it will look like botched Botox.And taste: your tongue is now the size of an eggplant. Breathing might stop altogether.I know the plant names are enticing—Oleander, Donkey tail, Nightshade, Thorn apple.The intoxicating is often toxic. Pick your poison.Thanks to everyone.
