Today it's home to a 6,000 square foot tree house, visitor centre, pavilion and a number of water features. The Poison Garden tour is your opportunity to find out more about poisonous plants such as Hemlock and Foxglove, and you'll spot over 4,000 varieties of plants as you stroll through the gardens.
