The Poison Garden is a Phoenix-based botanical shop built around plants with unusual histories, unexpected forms, and a little bit of bite.

Our collection includes carnivorous plants, distinctive garden varieties, themed seed collections, bulbs, planting media, and botanical goods chosen for people who like their gardens a little less ordinary.

We’re interested in the stories that grow alongside plants: folklore, history, traditional uses, strange adaptations, and the reasons certain species have fascinated people for centuries. Some are beautiful. Some are useful. Some eat flies.

The Poison Garden is still growing, and that is very much the point. New plants, collections, and curiosities will continue to find their way in.
