Over my summer vacation I went to Ireland. It was really beautiful. One of the most scientific things we have done this summer was that we went to a poison garden. It was filled with many plants and an explanations. If you are in Ireland I would recommend going to the Blarney castle, because that is were the garden is and it was very interesting. The garden was filled with about 30 luscious but poisonous plants.
The science of what I did was Botany . Botany is the study of plants.These were poisonous plants. Some were lethal, but others just made you sick. The American Mandrake is a plant that can kill you. The plant looks like an umbrella. It can grow to be about 18 inches. Another one of the plants in the garden was called Wolfsbane. They sometimes used it to put on the tip of arrows for hunting and war. Wolfsbane is fatal. The cure for it is human fecal matter. I will also tell you about Rhubarb. The leaves are toxic but the roots are not. People actually eat Rhubarb (roots) and like it. They say that it is very good.
