Alnwick Garden was first started by the Duke of Northumberland, he employed Capability Brown to landscape the garden in the late 18th century.
The current garden was created by the Duchess of Northumberland, Alnwick Garden is situated adjacent to Alnwick Castle. The land was given by the Duchess, along with £9m to fund the project.
The stunning gardens surround a cascading fountain which is the centre piece, it is also home the the Poison garden. The poison garden has many highly toxic plants, it has special permission from the Home Office to grow plants, like Tobacco, Opium Poppies, Magic Mushrooms and Wild Lettuce, which can be used as a tranquilliser.
Alnwick gardens offers the public a unique chance to see beauty at its finest, every effort should be made to view in person as photos of Alnwick garden don’t do it the justice it deserves. I have seen some photos that are fantastic, especially when it has been snowing as it reminds me of Narnia for some strange reason, they do create a gorgeous backdrop for a Alnwick Garden Wedding.
