He isn't as yet, but as you can see if you read upthread it is something he would like to do in future :)

That's actually not correct. WdG already features live poisonous plants as well as mycological samples and models. My plan to establish an outdoor poison garden has so far been hampered by the lack of affordable and available apt space for the new venue. But I'm not giving up...

Have a look at the style the poison garden is done at the Botanical garden of Gijón as it is quite an interesting labyrinth type stone design (a bit low budget "Pans Labyrinth" like).

Also come to think of it, that kind of small stone labyrinth design for a poison garden could well have a European adder enclosure nearby...just a thought for your future consideration.

Since when did vampire bats become venomous? Unless you're referring to the anticoagulants in their saliva? (Which still isn't venom or poison...)
 
I've wanted to visit the poison garden since i was little! I can't remember where I first learned about it, but it's so interesting.
 
Speaking of vampire bats: I've found a very efficient way to showcase their behavior at WdG without even keeping live specimens. That part of the tour is a visitor favorite and usually involves the most hairy male adult rolling up one of his sleeves. And will forever influence the way you watch vampire movies. :p

Magicians never reveal their secrets. :cool::D:p Come to Salzburg in person, once the traveling restrictions permit it, and see for yourself.

Hint: it has to do with an artifact that might be the only one of its kind in Europe.

Will pay a visit one day for sure !

The hint is very intriguing
