Hortus Venenum – The Poison Garden

ONL 177

There is indeed a real Poison Garden in this world – it is situated in Alnwick in the UK. Spooky and somber it cultivates all or at least many of the most poisonous plants in the world. I was very intrigued when I saw this (online) and made myself a note…

Each arch contains a poisonous plant – so 12 in total with their botanical names backstitched in Latin.

There are lots of details in the entire design – and lots of Special Stitches too. Tiny over-one parts, not too large, no worries! Use of various threads, weights, fibers… beads, crystals, and such stuff.
