''The world's most poisonous garden''
'' The garden in Alnwick, England, is home to the most poisonous known plants on the planet: some are exotic species, but most are unsuspected plants that grow quietly in the lawn of the house and which have been used since ancient times to make poisonous potions. The sign at the entrance is unequivocal: "These plants can kill".
The Alnwick Poison Garden is however an attraction. The castle to which it is attached served as the setting for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early Harry Potter films. Created by Jane Percy, Duchess of Northumberland, in addition to rose gardens and rows of cherry trees, it brings together in one place the most toxic plants in the world. Visiting it is not dangerous: by respecting the rules of common sense, you risk nothing, but above all you learn a lot!''

The Alnwick Poison Garden is a gated garden located inside The Alnwick Garden adjacent to Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, England. This gated garden features a number of intoxicating and poisonous plants, such as nux vomica, the source of strychnine. This poison is often used to kill small mammals but has also been used by a number of murderers. The garden consists of approximately 100 deadly plants and has a number of warning signs to not touch or even smell the plants, with the majority being caged.

I fully support the common headcanon that Primo, our Papa Emeritus the I, is a gardener and a hobbyist plant enthusiast.
But I like this take on it even more. Let’s add on to that headcanon with my own flare.
The Abbey has two gardens.
The outside surrounding garden is open to the public and very wonderful. A nice place to have a picnic and frolic amongst the flowers. It was planted and designed by Primo and the Sister’s who are interested in helping maintain the garden are hired in and specifically tasked to take care of it. The garden is one of the Abbey’s shining attractions and many a newly indicted Sister’s genuinely interested quickly ask for a transfer to be moved to tend to the garden. Not a lot of them know just how much work it is to keep these flowers watered all day, every day, especially in the heat. It doesn’t surprise Primo when most of them give up a few weeks in, complaining about being too hot in the summer.
The private garden is for Primo and Primo only. This garden is cut off from the rest of the Abbey via locked greenhouse and only Primo has the key. Only he and a very select few ghouls are allowed within the greenhouse. Why? Because ghouls are very tenacious little bastards and are pretty hard to kill. Because Primo knows on an intimate level how to care and tend to these plants while avoiding hazards. Oh, also because every plant inside that garden is poisonous. Imagine if you would The Alnwick Garden but a bit more on a minor scale.  Foxgloves, Devil’s Trumpets, Belladonna, Mandrake, etc.
Why the fixation on poisonous plants? Well, first off: I think that’s metal as hell. Secondly: It’s to feed his second hobby. 
Poison crafting. 
Primo is fascinated with poison and what they do to the body. He always studying and trying to come up with some new confound way to silently kill or maybe even torture someone with just a drop of the vicarious liquids he keeps in his storeroom. He has books upon guides of chemical compounds that make up true poisons made to kill, as well as those less lethal plants in small doses that could be used for LSD trips. Opium from the Poppy’s. Aspirin from the small willow tree he has growing. It’s also where the Cannabis is, of course. Not all can be harmful in small doses. Most are but not all of them. 
Unfortunately for him and his two other brother’s one of the poison he’s crafted may have just been the one used to kill them.

Death and Hob go on a little date and spend it taking a tour of the Alnwick Poison Garden, for the giggle.

I dunno, I kind of want Season 3 to have skipped over a bunch of stuff so we can start with Aziraphale in heaven, plotting to overthrow all of it from the Metatron down, stop the second coming, and move back to earth as soon as possible. He's assembled a secret army made up of a bunch of other like-minded demons and angels, who, he has discovered also just want to have niche hobbies and play at the boundaries of humanity. They only needed to be slightly tempted into it and now they all have their own little human obsessions and have promised that when they go to earth, they'll only be working the smallest of miracles and curses which Aziraphale is quite confident will inevitably all just cancel each other out.
Crowley's mostly worked out his Point, and has begrudgingly made friends, some drinking buddies that he can rile up and call names and it's not quite the same as having Aziraphale around but he's no longer passively suicidal all the bloody time. He probably coaches a junior football team, or volunteers at an animal rescue a day or two each week, and runs multiple twitter accounts stirring shit up online. He's got a job, one he takes quite a lot of pride in, running the Alnwick Garden where the collection of poisonous plants has tripled during his tenure and the number of humans passing out has only doubled. There has also been a remarkable increase in the number of both meet-cutes and divorces occurring within the gardens that the Times once tried to report on but the journalist and all her notes disappeared before going to print. Crowley organises small expeditions to the unexplored corners of the world, always able to find some underground cavern or lush rainforest or barren desert that somehow all of humanity has missed. And within them, new plants for him to catalogue and, on occasion, vaguely eldritch, albeit thumb sized, new beasts.
So by the time we see them coming back together, they've done their personal growth and we can see that and, importantly, they can see that, and so all that's left to do is communicate with each other properly, which will likely be screaming for about twenty minutes, making out for about another fifteen, and then a lazy hour of quiet apologies, confessions, and secrets. Then they stop the second coming (while holding hands, and kissing, and flirting and beaming) and live happily ever after.

Speaking of gardens, I have this image of Mercy!Daniel in my head planting his pretty flowers, maybe some veggies…with a red kerchief on his head and matching red gardening gloves, and nice red converse, all nicely color coordinated by Terry lol. Danny boy is too modest for shorts of course, but maybe Terry can get him in some nice capri leggings, or turned-up blue jeans. The possibilities!! Maybe in better days Daniel plants some flowers for Terry too…wild Irish roses? Prickly thistles? 🤣
More like Giant Hogweed 😂
Terry is mildly concerned when a package is received in the mail for Daniel from:

@merenwenformulauno for some reason the hellsite won't let me edit my answer ? so anyway posting it separately
"so for Scottish people NC is mostly seen as 'the first train stop in England on the way to London' aaaaand the place we go for big birthdays and stag dos. But, I know it is actually a beautiful part of the country so what do you wish people knew about your city and/or area that they don't?"
Honestly you can't really dispute the reputation toon has for being a football loving drunk city because that's.. very true. but there's soooo much to it that isn't boozing
we have sooooo much history to begin with. I always recommend people go to see the Castle and Cathedral if they're interested in roman history (a lot of links to Hadrian naturally) and Norman history, and especially if you're an architecture nerd like me (Grey Street is also a great place for architecture). Plus we were the second city for a looong time
There's also a lot of museums and science centres people don't seem to think about much. The life centre and the great North museum are both great days out as well as Shipley art gallery (technically gateshead). Also the discovery museum!!! It has the whole British Film Institute archive and tons of maritime history
Mostly though, people don't realise how many wonderful green spaces there are near toon. Tyne Riverside and Derwenthaugh are both stunning !!! Also, I have spent sooooo much time at Jesmond Dene just sitting and watching the waterfall. Also the coastline in the summer is glorious and heading up to whitley bay when the weather is nice is just *chefs kiss*👌👌👌
Not to forget the amazing surrounding areas, you're so close to Durham which is a gorgeous city and of course Alnwick in the other direction (if anyone is ever there, try going through the Poison garden without passing out)
cant forget BYKER GROVE the best tv show ever created

It absolutely floors me that people I follow are liking my stuff. Thanks for the relog of the headcanon and I would like to add that people who work in the Alnwick Garden wear freaking hazmat suits to tend the plants. And I think imagining Primo in a hazmat as he's dead heading giant hogweed is a cool imagine.
I LOVE plant stuff, especially knowing some poisonous plants can be used in good ways like healing some ailments. But under very small doses, it's a nice thought to have a deadly flower can save someone's life. And i imagine that primo too have his own small apothecary somewhere.
And siblings of sins wearing a hazmat is adorable! especially papa primo, he's literally a prune man.
PS : Don't tempt me to doodle out the scene of plushia in his own "hazmat" suite lfdkjgldkjgldk

Would the manticores have their own special poisonous plant garden, with lots of 'not safe for humans' warning signs, well away from the keep's veggie gardens, ala The Alnwick Garden Poison Garden?
Most definitely yes!
I think there are two greenhouses, one for Marlene & the cooks, one for Triss & the alchemists. The second one is not safe for humans.
