Poison & Petals: A Halloween Garden Tour
This Halloween, step beyond the blossoms at Mount Congreve Gardens and discover the darker side of the garden with Poison & Petals: A Halloween Garden Tour.
On this 60-minute, adults-only guided walk, you’ll learn which plants are best admired from a distance — and which you may want to think twice about introducing to your own garden.
Along the way, uncover a fascinating world of folklore, hidden histories and botanical curiosities, exploring some of the secrets lurking behind otherwise beautiful plants. It’s an intriguing seasonal experience that serves as a reminder that, in the natural world, not every beauty is quite as benign as it seems.
With a mix of gardening knowledge, curious stories and a distinctly Halloween atmosphere, Poison & Petals offers a different way to experience Mount Congreve Gardens this October.
