Gardening, Afforestation & Agro-forestry
|
After I got on Twitter few months ago, I had followed almost all of the Indian Forest Service officers who are there... I soon figured that most of their posts are related to afforestation & deforestation mitigation & soil or watershed management.
So I'm creating this thread to share the treasure troves here... Gardening can be covered too for those who are interested.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author

Examples of the specimens grown here Include Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade), Strychnos nux-vomica (strychnine), and Conium maculatum (hemlock). With special government permission they also grow opium poppies, magic mushrooms, and cannabis as part of a drug education program. Due to the nature of the plants on display most of them are kept within cages all while being on 24 hour security.  *This image is copyright of its original author Visitors must walk through a poisin-ivy tunnel to enter.  *This image is copyright of its original author Visitors to the Poison Garden must walk through a tunnel to enter. *This image is copyright of its original author The seeds of the Ricinus communis plant produce castor oil, but also contain the deadly toxin ricin.  *This image is copyright of its original author All parts of the laburnum tree are poisonous. If consumed in excess, they can bring on intense sleepiness, vomiting, coma and frothing at the mouth.  *This image is copyright of its original author Monkshood (left) is extremely poisonous—a person could kill an entire village by putting the plant's roots in a drinking well... In Victorian England, women used to put pollen from the angel's trumpet flower (right) in their tea to induce LSD-like hallucinations. In large doses, Angel's Trumpet is deadly.  *This image is copyright of its original author A cannabis plant in the Poison Garden.
