This garden, comprised of poisonous plant species, demonstrates that the beauty of plants not only invokes notions of love and life, but should be feared for its potential to cause pain and death. The terrestrial level is a peaceful cemetery scheme backed by a floating garden. After gazing out at the floating flower garden, observers descend into the earth to the subterranean mortuary Temple of Horticultural Biohazard. Here visitors will have the opportunity to gaze at the beauty of plant specimens and also reveal their dangerous secrets. Plants in this one-of-a-kind garden range from such commonly known poisonous plants as Poison Oak, Nightshade and Monkshood to the rare and unusual such as Moonseed, Crocus and Water Hemlock.
